More progress - of sorts. I may go back to my original T-34 turret plan we'll see. There is often a 12.7mm twin AA turret on top of the bridge. I'll have to find drawings for that.

It is interesting to see the way the Russians used tank turrets on these river monitors. The British did much the same thing with their support landing craft (LCS): LCA and LCT hulls armed with guns ranging from 2 pounder tank turrets, through 17 pounder anti-tank guns and 25 pounder gun-howitzers, up to 4.7-inch guns taken from old destroyers.

U.S. Navy PT boat crews often supplemented the armament of their boats with 37mm anti-tank guns lashed to the decks. I believe that John Kennedy's PT-109 had such a gun mounted when it was cut in half by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri near Kolombangara in the Solomon Island on August 2, 1943.

Looks a lot like a T-40 turret to me. I'm not sure that the DSK in the small turret would have enough elevation to engage aircraft.

Regards,

AA Gun - prototype

Well I made this prototype. It looks pretty good considering in has to be scaled down about 75%. Now to see if it is buildable at that size.
