Modelholic Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Do you mean the type 253 IFF that extends forward of the mast over the bridge and is kind of a wire frame egg timer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hi Beefy. I feel your pain. On my BPB build I tried a number times to build the conical transponder, but failed each time as they just didn't look right or my big fingers kept getting in the way. I finally made the antenna shown in the photos below. I ended up making the cone shapes from clear plastic sprue (although it looks a little foggy in the close-up pics), and made the antenna 'wires' from stretched black plastic sprue. I glued the plastic 'wires' to the clear plastic cones using clear cement. ... and the finished model. Hope this gives you some ideas.

beefy66 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Like I said i have been busy carly floats painted and stanchions made up and painted also added the exhaust covers and rods at the rear. also made up the boat hooks going from the photo of the real boat in the instruction manual the hooks go on to the breakwater and not the deck as some have them had to move the cleats outboard to get the rod pivots to fit think the instruction is a generic for most types again should have checked first beefy 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious Tom Hi Tom the backdrop is the black backing card you get in the kit for the PE it’s just faded out so that the pattern shows through because it has taken me so long to build. beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Well thought I had better get back to this one after a week in Malta for a friend's wedding and finishing off the book I started reading when on said holiday it was a BIG book So tried a couple of the antena and failed but kept going and think this is the best of a bad job on my part went with the @longshanks method And the start of my Teepee And added the rigging tie loops beefy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
