95mm CS Howitzer

[petedavies]

Hi all,

I am planning to modify a couple of 1:76 vehicles (Cromwell, Churchill) to mount the 95mm close support howitzer. Does anyone have accurate measurements (apart from calibre!) of the real weapon? I can get a reasonable estimate by printing & measuring from various drawings, plans etc online but it would be nice to have the actual numbers to scale down appropriately.

Cheers!

You could try the PSC Churchill - gives 3 weapon options - 6pdr, 75mm and 95mm

Thanks for the reply - yes, PSC do some nice stuff! But this is a bit of a "nostalgia" project for me to build up a bunch of classic Airfix vehicles I couldn't afford when I was 12 

Cheers,

Pete

Thanks for the info, that will be useful!

Icing on the cake would be external diameters of barrel & counterweight so I can buy the right styrene rod size...

PSC do do 1/72 scale Churchills with 3 barrels per tank
