johnie hopper Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have been searching for that trolley for my Airacobra Mk I project, but unsuccessfully :-(. So I decided to make it as scratchbuild. Drawing as first. I've used found known drawing of late type trolley assuming that the dimensions of carried adjustment hadn't changed. I made a 3D model to be able to visualize all dimensions: Then I had to look for the suitable wheels (diameter and thickness) and after while found these ones: Buing the right type of plates, beams and rods was the easiest part and then here it is - the empty trolley: There are two pieces (and two slightly different types) of trolley to use both used types of generating sets Although I 've found, that the BSA generating set is already 3D printed by some company the cost for so small part is out, so I will continue with scratchbuilding them. To be continued... thierry laurent, RALPHY ROCHA, mc65 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thank you all. Of course I know these kits, but they are other type (except the accu box) than used by 601 Squadron in 1941. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
