[StartQuote] So I'm looking to make the 37mm, even though it's not needed for my current build. I've gathered up Al's drawings and all the photos I could scrounge on the web... but the available web shots are just not showing all the details I want. So, I stopped by the USAF museum at Wright-Patterson to get some close-ups of their example, which is set up as the entire P-39 power plant and gun installation in a separate exhibit.A few snapshots below (I have more!). Questions: Anyone else have a photo album, perhaps from PT-658, showing details of the handle/trigger and jury-rigged pedestal? Did these installations use borrowed pedestal yokes from 20mm's? Any stories about how the adaptation was developed? Was it up to each crew, or did the tenders' shops develop the hardware? Thks!
