Default 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.

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

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.
