Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

Good idea but unfortunately I don't have a line drawing of a German entrenching spade.
Not sure if I have a line drawing of a Bergenpanzer in my files but I'll have a look.
Don't think so; the germans converted severall former Luftwaffe guns for a AA duty with no extra work, afaik.
Much better. Now, the number of road wheels. Panzer III/IV used a Panzer IV chassis, with 8 road wheels, with Panzer III internals.
There were two versions of the Pz.III/IV, one had 8 roadwheels (see pg. 402 post#8,030) and one had 6 (see post# 8,080 pg. 404).
Blimey, who said retirement was going to be easy!
Sit back an build models all day, I thought… Live the easy life, I thought…
Sadly, C in C House Command (Mrs Claymore) has other ideas and so it would seem that house renovation and DIY must take priority - on pain of death or curtailment of my whisky supply which, on reflection, may be worse.
Part of the renovation programme is my man-cave (now to be known as ‘our study’). While model building will still be permitted in ‘our study’, spray painting is most definitely not - again with the pain of death and loss of whisky rights! Painting with the old hairy stick may possibly be allowed but any excessive mess will bring down immediate death, sanctions, etc, etc…
So, until I can spare some time to sort out my garage and build a spray bay, builds may take a little longer than desired.
In the meantime, brothers and sisters, the revolution is coming!!! Just don’t tell her indoors!!!!

The Type 99s (both models) were IJN guns.
The IJA had a 20mm AA mount, box fed, the Type 98, with a twin-gun development.
Wikipedia piece.
The IJAAF had an excellent belt-fed 20mm, developed from the Browning M2, the belt-fed Ho-5.

You will be one of the men in sheds
Thanks for the Pacific war encyclopedia link. The cannon article (which is good) has links to some other excellent articles - the production one was well worth a look.
My neighbour's shed has double glazing as he decided to replace the patio doors in the house while building a shed. Perfect for chilly winters.
maybe @Claymore just needs to restart the Ratte project - not scale 1:35, but a scale 1:4 or 1:5 façade - a Ratte shaped shed
those scales would give a good size shed, might be a pain with regards to planning permission though (and def could compete for shed of the year)
i feel you are going to join a great tradition!
