57mm naval guns - help wanted
Permalink   


Hi All,

I am looking to build a 1/35 scale model of the armoured rail car as depicted in the photo on page 44 of the Osprey book "German Panzers 1914 - 1918" by Steven Zaloga.

I am looking for info, pics, drawings, plans, anything on the guns used on this carriage.
They are described as pedestal mounted 57mm guns and I am thinking Maxim Nordenfelt 57mm naval guns.

Are there any kits (wishful thinking) or can anyone suggest something that I can use as a base? 

Also, does anyone have any other pics of this car?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
Greg

The weapon system in question appears to be the Belgian example captured in numbers by the Germans ( note the vertical breach block ).   It is the same gun used in the A7V.
