Do any if you have info on the dimensions of the two recuperator sylinders on the 88 Kwk 36 Tiger 1 gun?
Looking for lenght and diameter.
The recuperator are the two cylinders that dampened the recoil and return the gun to battery.

Info is needed as im planning (trying) to build a semiscale functional recoil system 😉

You could ask John as he was doing something last year:

Or else have a look here. It is in 1/16th scale:

THANK YOU Vince.

The ruski page was beyond what i could dream for regarding details and measurements. :D

Edit: i just realised that Vince might have added a year to my build, with the detailed plans for the main gun. :lol:
