Fantastic pictures Harry thank you.....how do you post them so big

 

[HarryG]

Hi Spotter
I take it they work out that way as i have them saved on the computer as large files.
Here is a photo of the projectile for the 5.25\"

Thanks Harry for the pics,when i asked spotter to post pics i never added a post with my questions. I know about the guns but was hoping for some pics of projectiles as ive never seen any,so pics were great. The 2nd pic,is this AP with a small He charge and a base fuse with a delay, as per large caliber naval stuff?Cheers Tony

 

[HarryG]

Hi Tony
It's an AP projectile, but it's not base fused, just a solid projectile

Its very nice Harry,Can you post a pic when you have painted it please,how much would this be worth,I would guess about 120-150 quid in G/C,if you ever found one?

 

[HarryG]

Hi Tony
Will do, don't know how much it would cost, i wouldn't like to pay the postage on sending any where it weights something like 30-40Lb.
Where did you get your case?
Harry
