Hi guys,
Finally, I am back in the civilized part of the country. As I have mentioned previously, here are some pictures of the guns displayed in front of the air base I visited.
This is a 105mm Howitzer.
I don’t know what this is but probably a sort of bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun.
Hope these will be of use…[;)]
That’s cool Dwight. Where did you go to take these pictures?
I was on a site inspection trip for a proposed expressway project to connect two former US bases somewhere north. These bases are now industrial zones with international airports. The Phil. Air Force is occupying one of the bases. It is where I got the pics. There are some aircrafts displayed also but these were in bad condition already. I’ll post pics of them next time.
Nice to have you back Dwight. Neat pics. That second gun looks more like 20mm to me. Can’t say I’ve seen anything like them. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry Tigerman, I never tried to measure the diameter of the barrel. There’s also no name or identification plate around it.
The bottom gun looks like a chinese copy of the German 2cm flack gun design. Maybe someone that knows for sure will confirm it 
Great pics Dwight. I’m not sure what the second gun is but I don’t think it’s a Bofors. It certainly does have a German look to it.
Thanks for sharing.
Chinese? or German? That’s strange. I mean we never have any military hardware from China or Germany. Mostly we get these stuff from the US.
Well, anyway you could be right, too.
Poor manners on my part … welcome back Dwight.
Thanks, Sherm.
Hey Dwight, did you wander any closer to those 'planes too???
Yes, DJ. Got some pics but not so good. There was a UH-1 helo, an Crusader, an F-5A, a pedestal mounted F-80 and I think a T-37? I’ll post the pics if you like but I did not get close-up pics.
Welcome back, Dwight.
Did you have a productive trip?
Thanks for posting the pix!
Let me guess, you photochopped your Italeri 1/35 105mm howitzer into the weeds, didn’t you? Nice pics, Dwight!

Welcome back Dwight. Glad you had a good tour and got to do a little photo research in the process! Good pics.

Welcome back Dwight! That second gun is a double barreled what’s-it that incorporates the doovermahiggie loading system… got me what it is too. Remember, if they relocate these to the junk yard to make room for construction, you get them moved into your back yard!

Dwight, those pics of the 105 are great. I’ve got an Italieri M-7 Priest that I’m picking away at, and they’ll help a great deal. I’m not going full bore on it, because I want it to be perfect, and my skills aren’t there yet. Work does progress though, and I really appreciate the pics. Did you enjoy your trip?
madda
Pics of the Cruz would be cool! you can e-mail me if you prefer… djmodels1999@aol.com
Many thanks,

That second gun looks like a Russian 23mm anti-aircraft gun or a Chinese licence-built version.
Our old friend, Mr. Charlie had lots of them.

Welcome back Dwight. We’ve missed hearing from you. Thanks for the pics.
