i'm an enthousiast in artillery of WWII, but my attention was drawn to the artillery made by Scoda. In an effort to build the 42cm Scoda M17 on 1/35 scale i got stuck by lack of pictures or drawings of the inside of the gun (craddle). The drawings i made was based on a drawing in a book by Michal Prasil on the subject. I did a lot of guesswork to reconstruct the shape of the inner mechanism. My attempts seem to fail 'cause there're not enough pictures i can work with.
Can anyone help me find more technical drawings of the gun and of the boogy's for transport?
