Thanks!

First print failed last night so I'll try again with different settings.

Plan is probably to use the barrel and draw the Krupp version and I've also got the ML-20 carriage so I might have a go at the Kanone 81/2 (12.8cm on a russian trail)

Can't be bothered to do the one on the GFP french trail before anyone asks...

Not a terrible print but could be improved.
Still needs final tidy up.

Quite impressive it is  :o
Does it even fit on the build plate of a Photon (12x6) or would one need to print it vertically?

It's in 10 bits! 

1/2 Barrel and slide, front 1/2 of barrel, mount and gun shield, suspension and wheels, chassis, 4 x feet and barrel lock.

there are also trunnion covers too but I didn't print them this time.

The model needs tweaking as the gun mount is too thin and has warped a bit also the supports need moving in a  few places.

It already looks very impressive nonetheless. :)

Can't wait to see the tweaked model!

Yes - the revised model is printed ;)
It's come out well again.  Remind me of your address and I'll get it posted over the weekend. ;D
