17Pr HE

[Stuka]

A few weeks ago I found a 17Pr case at my local scrap metal dealer. It was in a reasonable condition, except for a little hole and some nicks near the top.


This makes the case practically worthless for my collection, but I already had a cutaway of a HE shell, which I made earlier.
These could fit together nicely to form a complete round.
So I decided to buy the case, and today I cut 1/4 out of it and milled it smooth. I also gave it a bit of a polish, and I managed to get the dents out, so I could fit the projectile.

That's a great job!!!! I love to see how you use a carpenters hook to enshure the 90 degrees angle is correct and thus add precission to the cutaway model.
Please keep em comming.

This came out better then, GREAT! Wow!

The pics with the 90 degree tool showing the precision of your work are the best. Blown away! Pun intended

Nice work. That is one thick walled HE. According to this site, they made two different HE shells? And not that many compared to 25 pdr! http://www.wwiiequipment.com/index....er-anti-tank-gun&catid=40:anti-tank&Itemid=58
