2-pounder recoil cylinder dimensions?

[Ron Pier]

I'll print your diagram off

[Graeme Stephens]

Hello Jakko, hopefully these pics and dimensions might help.
# Total length in metric 1100 mm, = tube 1050 + cone 50 ~
# Tube 110 mm diameter
# Rail 850 long from end, 110 wide, with +50 mm sides
# First band 150 mm from end, then 130 space, then 2nd band 130 mm wide
I don't have yet the cone/bolt protrusion.
Cheers

I'll stand down now. Ron

Thank you both! This should give me enough information to scratchbuild something that looks like the real thing, and get the BARV model finished

I thought I’d show you what I built based on Graeme’s measurements:

It’s not perfect, but it will look good enough under the BARV’s catwalk.

Now I just need to wait for the glue to dry so I can paint it and stick it onto the model

[Ron Pier]

Nice work. That part would be a good start for you building me a model of the AT gun. Ron

Oh, but that’s rather easier:

Fifteen years ago, Vulcan released a kit of one in 1:35 scale, though it is hard to get hold of nowadays. There are a few more options, but most of those in 1:35 are even harder to get; 1:72 is easy enough, if you don’t mind buying Russian, anyway.
