Hi All.
I am trying to research the Naval Hotchkiss 6 Pounder for a friend. I have begun to draw up what I can in 3D. I managed to find a line drawing but its difficult without any close up images of them on the deck to see the detail. Any help would be appreciated

Hi David,
Have a look on the Navweaps page here: [size=78%]Britain 6-pdr / 8cwt [2.244"/40 (57 mm)] QF Marks I and II - NavWeaps (http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_6pounder_m1.php)[/size]
It doesn't seem secure, so go careful, but also do a search for 6pdr 8cwt naval gun which will give you some references. Just ignore the anti tank gun and 10cwt which are different weapons.
Hope this helps, regards Ian :}

If you do a search at Google images there are masses of pictures showing this gun in its various formats.
