Brad-M Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi Anthony, I'm trying to visualize this, but I'm old. So do we sandwitch plastic stock, and then sand to shape of the PE? Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sure Harv Look at the rounder profile at the base Here are some I made for my 24th Mossie which prob best illustrates it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Brad, yes I think what you are saying is how I visualized it too. A PE top face and a PE bottom face with plastic card in the middle sanded to shape to bring it all together... However if Terry is reading this he may be able to chime in and confirm Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-M Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Those look very nice Anthony! Scale down to 1/32 by chance Brad Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Brown Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) With any luck Bob at MDC will be releasing 1/32 Mossie rocket rail mounting stubs, possibly with either Mk 1 or Mk III rails. How do I know this? I sent him the patterns to produce them a while ago. We discussed including the 100 gallon tank guard rail which in reality is made of tubes so any etched brass item will just be wrong as it will be flat in section. 100 gallon tanks and 8 x 25lb A.P. rockets where also discussed however I think he just got too busy.

wunwinglow Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm going to be REALLY picky....... Something I have noticed on a lot of models of the 60 lb version of these rockets, the profile of the rear of the warhead, where it thins back down to the diameter of the rocket tube, is frequently just a bit too, um, severe... Look at these pics, and you will see the fillet radii are too tight on the models, making the rear end of the warhead look too truncated. Hey, maybe I am being a little bit OCD about my rockets...... But the ordnance these aircraft carry is ultimately their reason to be, And I reckon rockets and missiles and things often get shortchanged in the modelling world. Call me weird.
