HI guys

I posted this over on the Armor page but thought I might have better luck over here. I need some info to finish up a piece I'm working on. I need to know what British 6 pdr anti-tank rounds and the cases they came in look like. The cases that came with the kit are junk, and the kit has no rounds.
Thanks guys

Here is a link to a canuk site that has a kind of fuzzy pic of the boxes and some shell casing in the foreground. http://www.junobeach.org/e/4/can-tac-art-atg-e.htm#null
Hope it helps some

W6, the second shell from the left is the 6pdr:




and the one on the far right is the 6pdr's:



I have not yet found a pic of it's case... yet.

Thanks much guys you've been a big help. Kencelot, if you do find a pic of the cases please let me know.

Thanks again guys.

which kit do you have wolfsix?

i have the tamiya one and the zvezda/italeri/revell one. you are correct about the ammo, its crap but unfortunately i dont think any one makes a resin or metal set!

cheers

I've got the very old Tamiya kit. It was the only 6pdr I could find on the net. The kit is bad! and I don't mean that in a good way. Its taken alot of putty to just make it look close to the ref pics. But I needed it for my RMG dio.

Wolfsix

thought so,

its not that inaccurate, but very crude. the main problem is the barrel is way to slender.
and the gun sheilds scale out to about 6 inches thick!

with a bit of work it can be made to look pretty good. thin down the gunshield, add rivet details and wire loops.

ive got a link to some great pictures in a walkaround. give me a day or too and ill find it for you

cheers

Thank you sir that would be a great help. I've had some trouble finding ref pics for it. I found a few on the Tankheaven web site. The pics are pretty good but there are to few of them.

P.S. I've been sanding the sheild for two days.
