Cheers David
I`m working on a plan to build a 1ldr (37mm) revolving cannon, tricky little model, but could be an interesting challenge

Totally useless of course, but, that isn`t the point of modelling it
The Norwegians had a truck-mounted 1-pdr Hotchkiss revolving cannon in 1940, along with a truck-mounted 65mm Cockerill naval gun. I had planned on building a model of both, but my tiny force of Norwegian figures still hasn't made it to the workbench more than 20 years after i bought them.

Yes I`ve seen someone on another forum with truck mounted revolving cannon - pretty cool modelling
