Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me. If anyone has the Zvezda art of tactic French foot artillery set (6810) would you please measure the length of the gun barrel from the front (muzzle ring) to the back (base ring) excluding the small knob at the back (the button).
The gun looks like the An XI 6 pounder (smooth barrel without central reinforcing rings and the carriage has straight cheeks with upturned tail) but in the PSR review it says the gun is about 22mm which is closer to a 4 pounder measured from muzzle ring to button.
If that 22mm includes the entire length of the tube and the button then it is undersized but if it is the muzzle ring to base ring (the normal measurement for a gun tube) then it scales only a little short to the accurate 166 centimeters.
This is the only 1/72 plastic An XI 6 pounder and a great looking model (albeit over-priced) but I'm curious if Zvezda got the size wrong.
Thanks in advance!
