More gun troubles

[Hammers]

Brigade Games 75 mm Krupp field gun this time. There are lots of little fiddly bits which I can't figure out where thye shoul go. Help?

[Blackwolf]

I have one as well,have to find it first,willget back to you,mine is also unmade.........

[Blackwolf]

Hmmmmm,not a Brigades game gun methinks,only has five bits (cannon,gun shield,wheels and carriage),will photograph tomorrow (it's night here now) and send you a pic. The bits on mine may help you to locate the bits on yours?

   Here's a link,not a great pic,I assume yours like mine has the 1903 style spoked wheels?

I am pretty sure it is the Turkish field gun from Brigades Galipoli/Palestine series (unless I have mixed things up). There are wheel breaks, seats, and a few nobs andd so on which I am not sure where they go.

Well looking at the picture on there site
2 wheels
one gun
one sheild
one gun carriage
gun sight left side of gun
realease handle for breach at back of breach end of gun
there could be some bits for the gun carriage

 The the barrel on mine is much shorter,an earlier version? Also notice what I assume to be the sight is on the left hand side of the barrel. No split trail ,a poor sod would have move the gun with one of those move gun carriage thingys. Also of note are the seats and the gunners elevation wheel on the left just below the breech. Not sure if any of this helps.......Looked at a few sites too,and they all look different,even from the same period,mine could be,not sure? An infantry howitzer or just a modified 75mm....who knows?I don't.

That's a howitzer, surely.

[Blackwolf]

Yes, as I said, or a modified gun. However the configuration of the piece should be the same,and my albeit limited research would back this up.Krupp were unlikely to build two entirely dissimiliar guns of the same calibre. I'm usually wrong about such things,and no doubt a more learned member will come to your aid,SFTI.
   I shall now retreat back to my semi-naked lady minis,'planes and Austria-Hungary of the 18th century
