I'm about to start scratchbuilding a wargaming model of HNoMS Sleipner and my copy of Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships' tells me that it and the Odin class boats had 102mm guns. I can't find much on Google other than a rumour they might have been Bofors made.

Does anyone have any technical drawings or more info on what the gun was?

Thanks so much,

Peter

102mm = 4" gun

Maybe if you search for that you might have better luck.

Thanks, WS. I've got a number of free cardstock model ship plans on CoatneyHistory as well LCoat.tripod.com now, including all the Bismarck-related Tribals and Piorun with their correct hull numbers.

Thanks Louis, I'd spotted your website before. Still the only information I can find is yours and wardrawings.be. Anyway, I'm not a perfectionist so I think I'll just model QF 4" Mk Vs because they are probably similar-ish.

My projects go pretty slowly as you can tell!
