Guys,
          I am looking for some info on this weapon.  It is a Soviet M-46 (or the Chinese Copy Type 59) 130mm towed artillery piece.



This is not a request to google for me- I have done that Smiley. The picture I have appears to have been taken at the ordinance Museum in Aberdeen, MD.

Does anyone have any friends who have photographed this in more detail?

Steve, while I'm at APG this weekend I will do a walk around on it for you, if it's still there.

Hi Steve,
Well, I'll have to dust off my red cape I guess. I remembered and the gun was still there. It says 59-1-130mm on the breech.
Anyway, I shot about 50 photos for you. My trusty dusty Sony Mavica puts them on a 3.5" disc. My desktop is in the shop but as soon as I get it back I will put them on a CD for you and mail it out to you.

Just an FYI

Trumpeter has announced a kit of this gun in 1/35th. Grin Grin

A difficult scratchbuild that I have been pondering will soon be an easy conversion.
