If you read the fine print on the side of the calendar, you'll realize that is THE original British gov't model for that piece, the somewhat famous light 3-pounder gun.  Every single part will be exactly 1/6 scale.  I don't know what I was doing when that went to auction but obviously I didn't know about it or it would be here now.  Musta had my head up you-know-where or sumpin'.

"Head up..." ...hard to see in the dark...still a very nice model ...   1,550 pounds in 1998, fetched a pretty penny!
