Strelets – 12pdr Whitworth Rifle with Confederate crew
The Crew.
The ones who are posed to turn the wheels and the one who appears to be aiming the gun (on the left of the pic) have slightly lobster type Hands but in the main the Crew is fine, especialy the officer,
The Gun
The Barrel of the gun was (on all three sprues) a bit bent but hot water Treatment sorts that and the trunions on the Barrel needed shortening…apart from that, the gun fits together well, the only bit of glueing needed was the adjuster under the breech.
When put together the gun has an odd look to it..the Position of the Barrel to carriage Ratio looks odd, especially the breach side of the gun being so Long to the rear of the trunnions. They, in real life, did look a bit „out of Balance“
