6 Inch Gun


Obtained from the UK during World War One.


The US kept these in service for only a short period of time.


They did store them and keep them in war reserve.


They got updated to pneumatic tires at some point in the 1930s.


99 were later shipped to Brazil to fend off German u-boats.


Strelets crew with WWII British crew, but my plan is to convert them to WWI US Army.

Nice model, I think some were used in the Phillipines but mounted on naval fixed platforms. Not up on my US history though in the Phillipines during ww2.

Could be there were alot of those kinds of guns there, fixed coast defense. I will have to scope that out!
Thanks for reading Bluewillow.
