Billings 50ft. HMS Renown Steam Pinnace - Need some help


grsjax

Recommended Posts

I have a Billings Boats kit of the HMS Renown's 50ft Steam Pinnace kit #604.  Looks like a pretty good kit with better than average instructions for a Billings kit.  Problem is the assembly instructions for the 3pr gun mounted in bows of the boat.  The problem is there doesn't seem to be any.  A few poor quality pictures of the gun and the picture on the box is about all the info there is.  Some of the assembly is obvious but it would be nice if there were actual instructions or at least a diagram of how the parts fit together.  I don't know if there is something missing from the  kit instructions or I am just overlooking something.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post a picture of what's on the plan?  Maybe the parts?  I'm thinking since it's English, they have much in common with other English ship's armament.

Looks to be a  "Hotchkiss 47mm L/40 M1885" or a QF 3 pounder.

 

Until now, I have not found a plan yet (maybe later)
