Minesweeping gear in 1/350

[davepb]

Does anyone make minesweeping gear in 1/350? I', looking for Oropesa floats and Davits.

Also interested in sweep gear, including the large cable drum, in 1/72 to complete a Ham Class IMS.

Cheers,

Dave

I think some of the Mirage-Hobby 1/350th Flower class corvettes have minesweeping gear and these kits could be made without this equipment.

I've done a 1/72nd scale float(a resin casting from my master) and a 3D printed otter for the Revell Flower class corvette kit. I'm not sure these would be of use for the Ham class.

Thanks Niall, I already have that model, so I shall be raiding it (why didn't I think of that?). Looking at my plans for a "Ham", there seem to be various floats, most marked (on a Belgian plan) as "O" Type Size 5.If you still have your molds, I would like to buy a few copies.

Cheers,

If this is what you mean, shouldn't be too difficult to scratchbuild. I made some once at 32'=1" (1:384). It was too small to drill holes accurately, so I just put some black rub-on round spots on and it looked OK.

Hi Bob, thanks for the picture. I have plans in 1/72 but a picture gives you more of a feel for the subject.

Thanks again

Dave
