I'm trying to prepare a review of the Trumpeter 21cm Morser 18. There happens to be one of these at Ft. Sill's Field Artillery Museum. I need detailed photos of the front support mechanism that attaches to the "disk skid" in combat mode. My feeling is the kit represents this incorrectly.

I ordered a "walk around" book for this, that's actually reviewed here, but haven't received it yet, and who knows if it will have the stuff I need.

There are lots of pictures on the Inernet of this beast, but none that show this support in any detail, at least that I can find.

Here's a link to a photo taken at Ft. Sills.

Thanks in advance for any help, Dave

Dave,
I work there if that counts... I am currently in San Antonio and will be back to work on Friday. I will try to remember to take my camera and see if I can take some shots to assist you in building. Let me check my pics as I might already have what you are looking for in my collection.

I guess I won't find much closer, than "work there". Anything you come up with would be great. I'm particularly interested in the support mechanism for the large disc skid.

Here's a link to an album with pictures of the kit. I captioned a few where I need help.

Thanks
