The Stuart barrel is way to big, I think … But … Awesome work HBG
I think it will be easy enough to cut the length of the barrel down some, but the thickness will be really hard to make it as skinny as the Stuart’s barrel was (37mm), in comparison to heavier tanks with bigger guns, at this small scale. Go too thin and it becomes too easily broken.
Look at the OOB Matildas for UK and ANZAC. Their barrels are kind of short and thick. They look almost as big in thickness as the Shermans, which had 75mm guns. The Matilda II only had a 40 mm gun, which you know would look much skinnier in barrel thickness, but would also probably be very easily broken too.
I’m afraid in some cases we are going to have to deal with a little historical innaccuracy due to the small scale of the pieces.
