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

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.
