Can someone tell if there is an update kit for the AFV Long Tom model that replaces the kits wheels with WWII items

Regards Bob.

Master Productions sets are the way to go :

Good to know; this kit has been on my "want list" for some time now, and I too would like to build it as a WWII example.

Thank you very much.

Additionally, the entire recoiling assembly is wrong for a 155mm gun (wrong diameters, wrong band lengths, wrong band spacing, wrong breech . . .). It is fine for a 8-inch howitzer, however. The metal part is missing the characteristic muzzle flare, but people have lived with worse.

That's slightly more difficult to correct...

Have lathe, will travel.

What's a good set of drawings for the Long Tom, Kurt, if you know? Can't make the corections without the drawings.

Well, you'll need a mill because the bands are only partially circular.

These are the only ones I have, and they are incomplete because they don't have the breech or band details.

Well, then, I'm in luck! I have a mill at my disposal. Any references on where the breaks or dicontinuities are on the bands?

They are sort of Omega-shaped. It's probably best to look at photos; there are plenty on the net.

Make me a couple while you are at it.
