Hi,

Can anyone help me to identify the vac form parts for this kit; I couldn't find anything in the instructions and Adrian and Speedline is difficult to track down.  I've worked out what about half the parts are but the rest are a mystery.  Any help would be much apprecated.
Cheers
Phil

if you need people to identify the objects..then it would be a very good idea to post pictures of the parts you need identifying????

[pipster]

Doh, should have thought of that!  Pics of the parts below.  Some are obvious so aren't numbered.  I've numbered the parts where I think I know what they're for, and A - D I have no idea.  Can anyone help identify A - C and correct 1 -9 if I've got them wrong.





1 - Wheelhouse dome vents
2 - Pump box and lid
3 - Radar monitor and laser plotter
4 - Radar base
5 - Y boat mounts

Cheers
Phil

Phil,
With regard to vac form A
These are the trays that go underneath the life rafts  (no. 90) they have to be cut down quite a bit.
Havent worked out D yet.

Phil,
I agree with 1   2   3   4  &  5

B.     I used this cut down to 1/2" lengths , glued two pieces together and then glued the resulting square section under the seats to represent the fabric covering the dampers on the seats.

D.     These are the backrests on the bridge  shown as no. 106 on plan.

Hope this helps,

Gerard

Yes guys, it would not have taken Adrian long to type a parts list to go along with
his kits. I had the same problem with my Trent build,nice kit though.
Although she is still W.I.P. I will be taking her for ballast and
running gear trials this Sunday, just hope she does well.

Hi Midships,
I'm away from home this weekend but will look at my kit when I get back if you've not got the answer first!


By the way, did your kit come with any 'sundry' parts like compass (hemi)sphere, chord/rope &c?


Phil

Ok, I've had a look at my kit and the only parts on the same brass sheet as the trim tabs look like the motor cooling fans - sheet N.  Could you post some pictures of the parts you're talking about and I'll try to help?

[pipster]

Actually forget my replies - I've just seen you're building the Tamar - I got confused by the post being in this thread - sorry.
