Hi Rob,

Looking good as usual!
Did you remember to take some measurements from the barrel? Need to reproduce one for my DAC. Thank you!

Cheers,

Ordnance is now assembled and painted ,very pleased that it all went together by hand , nice and smooth, no hammers or blocks required !
Shield is at the blasters so I am hoping to get that back in the next couple of days so I will prep and prime but will not top coat until it is ready to be fitted.

Rob.

I was reviewing this thread and took a closer look at Post 31, as the curved metal plate forward of the tyre caught my eye.

Is this part of a braking system, a mud clearing system, or something entirely different?

Is that a British thing Rob? The mud cleaner. You see it on No.27 limbers but not the 25 pndr gun.
