A friend is converting the Trumpeter howitzer to the 280mm version and is looking for reference photos.

Imagine my surprise when Dishmodels.ru did NOT have a walkaround..
There are loads of pics from the St Petersburg museum, but no walkarounds of the 280.

Prime portal either.

The same couple of pictures in the wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/280_mm_mortar_M1939_(Br-5) , show up in my google-fu over and over.
Even copy-pasta the crylic gets the same tired pics.

surely someone out there has a walkaround of the beastie?
