Anyone know where there are some walkaround type sites online that detail the WW2 US 57mm gun?

Thanks,
Steve

Got one sitting on a lawn about 5 miles from me, if I get a chance I'll take some photos next time I'm there, (hopefully I'll remember the camera. There's also a 75 MM mountian howitzer next to it.

Try this set at the re-launched Tanks2Scale site.

Thanks all.

Is that actually a British 6lb gun on the Tanks2Scale site?
