Old Artillery in the SCW

[Natxo]

Hello everybody:

I´m looking for a reference (may be in the colonial range??) similar to this gun

It´s a XIX century gun used by the National sido as field artillery.

EDIT: Pic embedded.

Could be Belgian or Russian fortress artillery?

Sadly, not my gun.

It's from Photobucket:

I'd made a note of the url a few days ago because I'd briefly considered a project using something similar so had it to hand when I saw this thread.

My project has been shelved while I paint up some 6mm Sumerians. I finally seem to have got back into painting after a bit of a drought.

The Krupp looks similar to the photo, but not the same. The breech seems completely different.

That one is perfect.

The gun in the first entry is a Spanish gun fron the beginning of the XXth century.

It was used by the National side in the Spanish Civil War (SCW), in second line artillery units.

I´m planning to play SCW with the Flames of War rules, I usually play Flames of War (WW2 and Vietnam)with 10mm miniatures.

I think that PPW17 has a shorter barrel, but that is easy to solve.

Thank you very much.

I think your picture is the French 155mm L de Bange of 1877.  I have yet to find anything to represent the type in the Pendraken ranges.  Supplied originally by France to Czarist Russia and also made at Perm under licence, the Soviets sold them to the Spanish Republic, together with other obsolete kit such as British 60pdrs and QF 4.5" howitzers, and captured WW1 German stuff like the 7.7 cm FK 16 and MG08 MMGs.
