Are you sure? It don't look like MB-3.

Hi, zesherminator:

Just some comments about your drawing. The mantelet of the gun in the Tamoyo was much more steped (vertical), the barrel of the gun looks too short (M32 was L/60, and the 90 mm Bernardini's gun was L/40, and in the las version, the gun used was L7 which was 105/51), and in the Tamoyo, the turret was in a more forward position. Cheers.

Thanks for the advice this is the L 7 version of the tank (The final prototype version which used the L 7. I will try to fix the other problems. Please excuse the mistakes this was my first try at something like this. Still thanks for the advice.

Somehow I ended up doing this, fortunately there were some very decent references. FD might be too small for this sort of thing.

Limber is speculative based on diagrams for limber for other similar guns. Your feedback is of course very welcome.

The color of the bronze is fantastic! May I ask if you know if the french army used in the III Empire the woodwork painted? (I am making this comment because I remember that the british used the carriages in a pale green, well at least in some fixed coast defence guns). Cheers, excellent drawing as ever.

This is a very interesting question, I have no idea actually since my only colour reference were pictures of a model from an arsenal, which had very aged wood for obvious reasons. It'd be interesting if somebody knew.

I'm willing to admit that my memory is a bit hazy, but I think
that the Osprey/Vanguard book on French artillery from 1801
to 1815 has the gun carriages painted a sort of medium bluish gray.

From the 1st empire period to the end of the 19 century the color of carriages and carts was a mix of light green and grey (lavish green), then the official color became the "gris fer" (iron grey).

See that small painting from a 1871 battle :
