Great to see progress on this sleek machine Kev Agree with Kev - it's looking good. I'm impressed that your Oerlikon barrels are straight!! I dipped mine in hot water - bent it - cajoled it and finally gave up and replaced with brass micro-tube. Keep it coming (that's good coming from me who has done nothing for 3/12!!)

JohnWS Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Great progress! I've just completed a 1:72 Royal Canadian Navy BPB MTB, using Coastal Craft & Great Little Ships weapons kits. I had considered buying the Coastal Craft MTB kit, but decided to scratch build instead. I'm really interested in following your build & seeing how the Coastal Craft kit goes together.

John Glad to have you along for the ride John but beware it will not be a quick one but I do hope it will not take much longer been a bit busy lately moving things around the house eventually I got my model desk indoors next to the radiator not to close just enough to keep warm instead of working in a cold garage Happy bear now Also started on the torpedo tubes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks! I've posted my build in the 'Ready for Inspection' forum. Let me know if you need additional information for your build. I've accumulated a lot of information about the BPB boats, & it would be nice to put it to use now that my build is completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John I have been studying your build and notice a few issues with mine on the torpedo tubes the instructions have the Twin Vickers guns mounted in the middle but yours are closer to the rear of the tube and the prints are showing the mounts as you have yours So will have to re do mine On 11/11/2017 at 6:18 AM, Gremlin56 said: Put up a perimeter of razor-wire to consolidate the new work-spot and avoid insurgence by Mrs. Beefy.

I had to do a little fiddling with the PE saddles to mount the guns at the rear of the tubes. There's not much room to fit the gun mount saddles due the firing apparatus moulded on top of the tubes. Mine are not perfect, but they're close enough for me. Edited November 29, 2017 by JohnWS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
