Hi Guys

Does anyone here own any OQF 3in Howitzer rounds, specificall HE or Smoke?

I'm looking for pictures and detailed measurements so that I can produce these in scale form

Many thanks

I can give you detailed mesurements of the case if that would help. Sorry I can't help with the projectiles.

Hi Chris,

The case is 76.2x134r

You can see a picture of the 3in close support HE round on the left in the picture in this link - http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/14542-3-inch-amp-95mm-CSH-rounds?highlight=95mm+close+support

If anyone has one other than Bovington, Please PM me

Hope this help,

cheers
Rich

Thanks guys

Are the Bovington ones actually on display? I was living near-ish to the museum but recently moved overseas. I have friends that can saunter in with a tape measure though if they are easily reached in the museum

Excuse my ignorance Fret, but is that a 3in HE?

 

[Falcon]

Yes that is a HE round.

Sorry, please ignore wrong round!

Comparison of HE and smoke rounds.



Complete round is 348mm

Thanks Falcon

Thanks Quatermass; the picture is especially useful for decals for the shells showing the markings as it does; many thanks for that

Fert, message on the way
