Thanks Steve, doing research on a "41". I may try to convert one. Doing the swingarm cruciform will be the major difficulty, so will be the last "88" on this dio. PaulE

I have a few pics. and started a build on one years ago....not much info out there and the photos I have show a very complicated gun with many dials and gadgets, odd crew seating etc. If I ever get around to finishing it I'm sure I won't want to build another. Let me know if you come on to some pics. that show construction of this beast. Rick H.

Hi Paul
Another superb dio in the making. Love the little details - 88mm crew having a break. Always so much to see in these dios of yours.

Thank you gentlemen. Rick, 'The 88' by Chris Ellis w/Peter Chamberlain has some pretty good pics & some line drawings.
Here are pics of second pair completed & third pair prime mover. Just started on cruciform conversion for 41. PaulE

Got the outriggers working. Came a lot easier than I thought it would. Next is detailing the ROCO 41. This will be my third attempt at detailing a 41.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Very fiddly in your scale Paul, well done.

Before final paint & decals. Better than the first two attempts but not very pretty. OK from 3' I guess. PaulE

Paul think your been to critical of your painting, that scale can't be easy .

[minitnkr]

Thanks JR. Maybe it will look better when done. Maybe a tarp over top & breech. PaulE

Pics before tarp. I think this dio's done. Will post final pics in Completed. PaulE
