Default Brilliant!!

Thank you Kevin.
I am gathering information on the 3" Mortar Carrier for a model subject and was having difficulty finding the dimensions of the tubes.
Any information is appreciated, especially if you know to any WWII WD serials used on mortar carriers.

Cheers
Kevin

Hi Kevin, If you going to make some from cardboard tube the cardboard part 17 1/4" long by 3 11/16" wide. The cardboard is 3/16" thick.

This was measured from an australia 3" mortar tube dated 1943.

kevin.

p.s. if you now any one who has got a 3" mortar base plate for sale let me know.
