Re: 88 parts
Hi Phil, I always thought the canon on the flak gun was much longer than the one on the tiger. Are they the same?Phil Woollard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 6:45 pmRefurbishment of my newly acquired 88 parts, anyone have a Tiger 1 cannon they don't want?

Re: 88 parts
Internally very similar as you would expect Brian, I would need to do some turing to the outside diameters.

Re: 88 parts
I think I'm ok posting photos of our 88 so long as I don't show my own parts? I do hope the 88 is re-released as it's a great piece.

- Machining the pry bars detail, I'm slowly working through the bogies, I'm keen to reproduce the brakesmans seat and associated controls.

- I've flatened the cable drum discs, well just about flat.
-
- Is this cable the correct diameter? I've been told that it wasn't just coms cable as it linked together the other guns in the battery gun laying devices .

Re: 88 parts
The brakemans chair and 5 mtrs of coms cable is not going to be enough.
You guys are going to love building the new flak kit from Armortek, there's so much going on and so much to go on.

- Interesting photo.

- There are some tricky bends in that chair frame.

- That's 5 mtrs of cable and as the circumference increases with each turn I'm going to need a lot more

- The upper row of holes in the seat pan can now be filled.

Re: 88 parts
Adding all the pioneer tools is a lot of work as I'm having to make all the brackets from scratch.

- I'm making wooden handles where ever possible
-
- Just the axe and the sledge hammer to go at this end, then duplicate for the other end but I'm short of a shovel and an axe.

Re: 88 parts
The sledge hammer brackets have taken all afternoon and still require another 2 hours to finish, there are a couple of questions for the guys that know that I really need answers to.
- Attachments
-
- This photo shows one end of the barrel cleaning rods mount
-
- I had to remodel the brakemans chair arms to get the figures arse and hips to fit nicely
-
- One question, the battery communication cables had a drum at one end of the cable, would anyone have details of this device please?
-
- The cable end drum may have been this size or possibly twice as big
-
- The barrel cleaning rods were kept just here, I believe. Would anyone have details of this area as all the preserved examples lost these a long time ago?
