Drawings or posters......Bren & GPMG

[RecyMech]

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me where I could get drawings, scaled or full size for .303 & 7.62 Bren & also for the GPMG ? or failing that some 1;1 training posters?.

 

Reccomended publications perhaps ?....or companies doing re-pro posters maybe.

 

Any suggestions or help appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance...... Howard @ KFS

Hi,

I will have to check, but i think amongst some old posters etc i may have a sectional bren instructional poster. If i have i would not want to get rid of it, but i don't see why it couldn't be copied. I would not know how much it would cost, as it is a large colour poster if i remember right. I'll try and look it out if you want.

Ahhh... I thought about the sectional training aid poster after I'd posted my request up.

 

Ideally its the other, 'non sectional' one I could do with as it shows all the external details...probably even rarer than the sectioned drawing I'm guessing.

 

I just had an idea someone might be doing re-production ones somewhere.

 

Thanks for offer of a copy though....might have to fall back on you for that.

 

Many thanks......Howard @ KFS

Howard,

Sorry but having checked, the sectional instructional posters i have are for the 7.62 SLR. - Andy

I only have a very large Air Ministry colour sectional poster for the Browning .303 in. gun, Mk11. Not what you are after

 

It is Air Diagram 1224 sheet 2 of 2 and dated May 1943.

 

As it is sectional very little of the outside is shown. Approx size is 4ft x 3ft.

Hi Tim,

Trying to get the proprtions & dimension right for a couple of 1/24th scale model Brens. These are for use primarily with next years Mobat kit & the current Champ & Ferret kits. (Hence both .303 & 7.62)

 

The GPMG is to accompany the FV432 kit & others.

 

I confess I've not really looked around for books or publications on these myself yet. Just thought I'd ask here first as there might be a ready answer/source of info.:-D

 

Cheers.,........Howard @ KFS

Howard, if it's any help, you can borrow my .303 Bren ( deac of course) to measure, take pics or whatever. Don't think 7.62 is much different size wise, just barrel detail and straight mag, though I could be wrong. Also not too far away either.
