Please everyone !
If I don't get this kind of blueprint, I just can't do the job. A blueprint must be taken as a base to do an accurate work actually.

Let me look into it, I'll get back to you.

Thank you, Jason. You rule.

Okay, so I have the 2 37mm manuals (I still need to look at them). We do have a 40 mm manual, but I couldn't find it at our pt boat shack. I didn't have a lot of time to look for it though, since we were sailing the boat that day. I'll look for it mor the next time I'm there.

Okay then !
A top and side view will do. Then I'll improve the basic model thanks to your photos of the gun.

The only nit-picky thing is, the foot trigger is on the left side. (meaning the left gunner, not the pedal)

Here is a photo: The red thingy is the trigger.

What I mean by this, if I recall, the game has you shooting from the right side POV. If you're the one firing the gun, you would be sitting on the left side.

so now I got to put the mouse on the floor and use my big toe to push the right button now was that the right foot or left ????

That's good to know. Thanks for letting me know about this detail.

Thanks in advance, Niki.
And take your time. By the way, a good photo taken from both sides would be really appreciated. I mean, some picture taken as you're sitting on the right and on the left of the gun, showing the details you can see from these points of view.

But as I said, I'm really not in a hurry. There's still a lot of work ahead before I can start caring about the details.
