John B (Sc) Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Help folks. I am building a Bundesmarine Seahawk Mk100/101. (Trumpeter, 1/48th - nice kit) I do like to know what the bits are that I am working with, where possible, because I am that sort of obssessive compulsive. Does anyone know, or remember, what the large bulge on the rear dorsal fuselage area of the German Seahawks was? Could it be a radio compass housing - my current best bet?

XV107 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 It was for a directional-finding antenna, the exact details of which escape me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B (Sc) Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 It was for a directional-finding antenna, the exact details of which escape me at the moment. Thanks XV107. That would make sense - possibly a motor driven D/F loop style arrangement you mean? ( Why XV107 as your online name - are you VC10 crew? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV107 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 John - I think so, but my mind is doing it's 'now I know that you know this information, but I'm not going to let you remember the details now you need to' trick at the moment... As for the name - first RAF aircraft I sat in the cockpit of. I'm a civvy but spend rather a lot of time involved with the RAF to the point where they're foolish/generous enough to allow me some 'hands on' time with some of their aeroplanes.
