Interesting modification of late style base plate infantry mortar. Never seen that. Was it ever operationally used?

Default Bomb thrower

Overhead view of the bomb/smoke projector rounds carrier, mounts under the gunners glacis plate.

I can't remember if it is 6 or 8.

So I am guessing the projectile went into a tube, and the tube into the container under the glacis.

Lance is the basket to the left of the gunner also for 2" mortars or is that for 3" projectiles ?

I have just finished my first repro 2" smoke, still need to stencil it though

Excellent thanks guys. Is there a tube carrier for the projectiles ?

And do I need to make a basket like Lance's
