Hi all

During my holidays I visited the little town of Ripatransone (AP, Italy), and found this, close to a war Memorial:

Thank you for sharing the images. The M. 5/8 was an important gun and it is a pity none is available in 1/72.

You're welcome Pat.
Unfortunately, I had no camera, just my smartphone. However, I have some more pic of the gun. Let me know, should you go for a scratchbuildsmile

Many thanks for your kind offer.

I was thinking of converting an Emhar 77mm FK 96 n. A. but am lacking dimensions fo the M. 5/8 like wheel diameter, total length, shield dimensions. Without getting the basic dimensions right, I feel I should not start with the detailing...

There are some images of other survivors here:
