A ship I'm starting on will have the 7.5" Mk VI that was used on the Hawkins class cruisers. The current drawing on the parts sheet looks a little sparce, but I can't seem to find any good pics or drawings of that partcular gun. Not really surprising, considering it was only ever used on the Hawkins class. I tried a few image searches, but came up empty on all of them, so I was hoping that one of y'all here may have some good side view drawings and/or pics in your book collections or something.

Thank you.

Thats the only one I can find here, yes.

Which probably means there are at least a dozen better ones floating around someplace.

I doubt there will be more details to add, to be honest.

Yeah, I was just kinda hoping to avoid the inevitable "why did you use the OLD drawing when we have the 1000% better one HERE" comments I always seem to get. :lol:

But if thats the best available, then thats what I'll go with. Thanks.
