i'm looking for some mountain artillery for my Narvik Gebirgsjagers : 7.5 cm le.GebIG 18 7.5 cm GebG 36 10.5 cm GebH 40 2 cm Flak 38 Geb 2.8 cm sPzB 41 any source ? |

GebG 36 is done in 20mm by Shellhole Scenics. I don't think the GEbH 40 was ready for use then. 2.8cm came out in 1941 hence the designation. I think (but may be very wrong) that the other 7.5cm just had the shield removed to make it mountain artillery! If you clarify the scale you want, people will be more able to help. |

Beaumap: The scale is in the thread title. Cheers. Rod Robertson |

The closest thing I can think of is Brigade Games' Skoda 7.5 cm Gebirgskanone M. 15, which you may be able to modify to suit your purposes. It doesn't come with a crew. Gorgon Studios has an expanding line of Gebirgs. Maybe they're open for suggestions? |

Ah, a fellow Norway enthusiast! I think the gebirgs IG 18 had wooden spoked wheels and no gun shield, so that's a pretty easy conversion. The gebirgs 20mm flak is a similar story, although the base was different from all the 28mm models of this gun avaliable. For the GebG 36, it's scratch-build all the way. |

link the last number of Revista Espaņola de Historia Militar has the first part of an article about the land combats at Narvik that includes a table with the reinforcements received by the Germans during May. The artillery included was what follows: On 4 May, 1 x 37mm PaK and crew by a Do-26 (plus 72 shells for 75mm GebG 36 gun) On 7 May, 1 x 37mm PaK and crew by a Do-24 On 20 May, 1 x 37mm PaK by a He-59B On 28 May, 3 x 75mm GebG 36 and crews by 3 Do-26 On 31 May, 4 mortars (caliber not given) by Ju-52 |

eeek – I had indeed not read the thread title properly! AltFritz's contribution seems to nail things well though. 37mm PaK – boring but obvious. |
