Ozzy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Finally done... thank god Your picture made me laugh, with your comment flying alone. I once had a trip in Afghanistan less for the crew I was on my own, when I got off the other end they thought I was a VIP as I had a whole Aircraft to myself. It was that unique I had to take some photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks for those Ozzy - some great memories you've got there mate. Looks like I may have to take that last block of seats off maybe. I need to have a think about that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmerit Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Your picture made me laugh, with your comment flying alone. I once had a trip in Afghanistan less for the crew I was on my own, when I got off the other end they thought I was a VIP as I had a whole Aircraft to myself. It was that unique I had to take some photos. I wish I could get a decent photo of the electronics on the shelves of the bulkhead. I cant find anything that gives a clear shot with the curtains down, and I have looked high and low. If anyone has one from a British Chinook circa 2006, can they post it/them? Just starting to get my head around the rest of the interior. Been looking at the minigun from liveresin and its a proper thing of beauty. Cover on or cover off - two barrels supplied I was tempted to open up the other side and stick a second minigun in but it looks like I made that decision 2 years ago! should be some nice touches when I get the windows in people take piccies of the funniest things, but this will come in handy!! So.... its electronics and those shelves next I reckon and probably the caution and emergency exit signs next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Had a bit of a dig around my reference piccies and found some!! here is the bulkhead as it stands R/H shelves with MERT septic in splinter Not that I'm obsessive or anything......................... but there is no consistency..! oh l/h block of seats has to go on both sides 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 mixed news tonight. Had a look at the electronics shipped with the kit and its minimal, and a couple of bits may be usable, but..... Cobra comes up trumps Between Cobra and the kit, I should get enough to sort out the shelves, which is good news. Now for the bad news The entire assembly on the left is MIA. God knows where its gone. Great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy the youngest daughter is here for a few days so I've ground to a halt - no photos before anyone asks. I'm also after some comms connectors from True Detail for the kit in the bulkhead shelves but cant locate any at the minute. Just waiting for other investments to arrive before I crack on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 No worries, we'll wait Love that cool box, imagine that in 72nd cooooool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Been looking into comms kit and came across this lot from Pro Art but am sticking with the stuff I've got. If I can pick up those connectors, I can get some cables in. Only thing is they are missing the right angle one which is a shame. One for Dan as he is the scaley so can probably give us the descriptive on the full scale part. I have ordered these though + some other metal cases after Ozzy posted that snap Like I say bit stuck so will move onto the minigun next 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmerit Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Thanks infofrog. Tons to do mate. So Ozzy's post is a 'life changing event' for me re that bloody bulkhead and those seats I had a little dig in the 'crap' box and found some panzer art British ammo boxes which may do for those steel cases. I've ordered the septic ones but I suspect they may make a bit to turn up. Having also spent a bit of time reseaching comms and electronics pictures of wokka wokka bulkheads (in my sad little modelling life), I've come to the conclusion that there are virtually no cables now the world has gone digital. I bet its all glass now like you have on your tele. secure Wi Fi at some stage I guess. Anyway. Ramble over. zoomed in on that bit form the MERT as its the clearest piccie I've got. The bulkhead on the model is not quite right, so I've had to try and keep to the spririt of the comms stack without accurately copying it. Its the best I can do without starting from scratch and I'm not massively stressed about it. so that will have to do. I'll see where I get to with this lot, but where I think I'm heading is prdering that pro art comms kit from those wagons earlier in the thread for the other side of the bulkhead. That's a single seat also by the way which folds up in the gap between the bulkhead and the pilot and navigator Edited December 13, 2015 by simmerit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 right. Who was on about the Loadie's coolbox? That was me.... I'm stunned that you can actually buy a cool box and bottles! I should add that it was normally stropped to the anchor points in the floor. If you're depicting it with cargo bergens, boxes etc were piled up down the middle of the cargo bay floor and stropped down. I'll have a dig through my pics from theatre and see if I've got anything useful for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmerit Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Ade - that would be muchos appreciated matey - anything you've got. Warris - thanks fella- the best ones I've seen by a country mile. That is absolutely brilliant and it wasn't too late for me to make the changes. That detail is exactly what I'm looking for.

simmerit Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not a problem, I have a few more photos so give us a shout if you need more Al Rgr that!! Its made a mahoosive difference. I hate getting things wrong. There's nowt worse than looking at something and saying 'it doesn't work like that' First bit scratch built. I need to dig out some telephone wire I've got enough bits to do 70% of the kit on the shelves, so not much scratch work to do. Ta for the piccies as I say. They have made a load of difference to the build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
