25 pdr rounds
 
For a modelling project, I am looking for the dimensions of the cartridge case and different rounds used for the 25pdr.
I have some details from a long forgotten website, that had some nice detailed drgs of the various rounds and cartridge case, however, it is poor quality and v-difficult to make out the actual dimensions.

Does any one know where I can get these measurements, as I have a source in the Far East that can make 1/35th scale, brass components.

Reason, hopefully v/soon Resicast will be preparing my master of the 18/25 pdr, we already are in the process for the 18pdr as used by the BEF, and the 4.5" howitzer.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
George. :thup2:

Try asking on the British Ordnance Collectors Network. www.BOCN.co.uk If you can't get an ordnance question answered on there then the internet has broken :D

My first port of call, not much in either guns or ammunition sections.

Here is what I have, and you can see, the dimensions are there, but pretty unreadable, does anyone have a clearer copy of it ?

Thanks.

George.

If you don't mind, that would be great.

Not everything though, I would say HE, solid shot, not sure what was available early WWII, but a choice of two would be great, the long and short rounds, plus cartridge case dimensions if you have one.

Thanks for the help.
