Hi Guys

Looking for a similar gun to the Krupp 7.5cm mountain gun, as used in China and Turkey:-





Anybody have any thoughts?

Cheers

You need to look for a 10mm manufacturer that does those obscure elements of kit. Phil at Pithead  has some very  rare WW1 guns in the pipeline.

Hi

Yes I've contacted Phil but he doesn't have anything similar. Might have to scratch something up  :).

From your pics, could you start with the filed down trail and breech of a French 75 and add the guard in plastic card with a cut down barrel perhaps ?  James

Hi All

Still scratching around for a proxy. Does anyone have a picture of WW2 British BR59 3.7" mountain Howitzer?? Hopefully it can eaily be changed to something like this:-



How about the WW1 Austro-Hungarian 72.5mm mountain gun, is it any closer?

Cheers

the Austrian mountain gun doesn't look anything like it.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping the Austrian gun was the later Skoda M15


rather than the older M99



Hopefully someone can come up with a pic or description of the 3.7" mountain Howitzer.
