I did some more variants of the M38 / Necaf Jeep.
The closed soft top and the Tow version are based on the Dutch Necaf Jeep.
The version with the machine guns is based on a jeep i have seen of Israelis paratroopers .

Excellents additions, Pegasus! The combination Jeep + RCL gun was a missing classic until yesterday!
The BL 5 inch was a relatively short lived gun in RN as main gun in a variety of sloops and gunboats, and as secondary artillery in some cruisers. It was used in the Vavasseur central pivot mount, but was quickly displaced by BL 4.7 guns. It was also mounted in variety of land carrieges, including a conversion of the carriage for the 40 pounder RML, and also an hydropneumatic disappearing siege mount. Cheers.

Thanks Eswube. I'm looking for some "not-so-vehicles" french siege/fortress guns, but until now, they are not so clear for the reduction to FD scale. But my next gun is not so old...
I think that the next WWII era mount was missing in our data, a classic in every battlefield involving the western allies, the useful M55 quad MaDeuce mount:
And back to my prefered era, the most powerful gun in the Dardanelles, the Krupp 35 1/2 cm L35 gun, it was the main gun in 3 forts (one per fort) in the area. It was also found in the Bosphorus area.
