Spotter,

very nice but what are the dimensions? Couldt you please switch on the display and have a look about the result if you manually fix the caliper at 20mm ?? - What showes the display ?

Best Lothar

 

[spotter]

couldnt switch on the display because the battery is dead,

 

[genkideskan]

I wonder if the front face of the display is really "0"

Hi

It took me longer then I thought to show you the modelling project where I used a scale hertzhorn
An "Thank you!!!" for Spotter again.

what is it??????(I know what it is ......but you? )
there is one part missing around the Hertzhorn ...
....
.....
But What I don't know is the colour of the metal on this mine (when it was new ) .........

I will post the complete mine in my other tread

I am quite sure it is a KMA mine, alied designation GK also known as the chaty mine. They where used a lot around the coast line from Holland, Belgium and France.
There is one in the museum at Overloon.
