As usual, sorry if this is old hat. The device pictured is described as German mortar for firing large projectiles. I haven't seen it before, and it looks a bit flimsy to be a mortar. If it's muzzle-loading, its position makes no sense at all. Anyone recognise it? -- Edited by James H at 12:44, 2008-10-0...
I'm building one from the 9/89 Fine Scale Modeler article. I'm trying to figure out what's on the turret roof that looks like a machinery or artillery handwheel in the drawings. Thanks, Lee
Somewhat off-topic, but the pic on the right is said to be a prototype German design from 1942, allegedly constructed without any knowledge of the Treffas (left).? It seems that the Big Wheel idea dies hard.

I attach three views of the tail end of the same Mk IV In the first two taken within a month of each other a thin transverse bar can be seen with a much thicker round tube (?) beneath it.
