BobboT Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Bear with me on this. I am new to the forum and not absolutely sure how to post photos. I have taken a link from my Onedrive to see what will happen. I had wanted to build a Cymbeline Mk2 mounted on a 432 for sime time now based on one I worked on from 49 Regt RA based in Hohne in the late 70s. I Used the Accurate Armour 432 (Takom not available then) as the base. I also had some old photos of 432s on Hohne ranges for reference. Now to post and see if it works. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AruyPVncQ9SZh74tm3VeKwTjjpO_WQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combat Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hello, a fairly easy way to post pics is to join imgur (free) and they have a forum specific link that you just copy and paste - uploading the pics is a bit of time, maybe that helps ?

BobboT Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks Combat. I will have a look at igur later. In the meantime it looks like I have been able to embed pics from Flikr. Seems a bit cumbersome getting rid of extra code though. OK. So to the model. Pic below shows the inside of the 432, This was done frommemory so may not be absolutely correct. On RHS you can see the rack for spare electronic unit and generator (only electronic box fitted here. In front is the table hold the radar controllers ( Indicator Azimuth and Range) Rest of lower inside as per kit. Next is the radar mount and hydraulic rams; Legs are the levelling rams to level cymbeline. More to follow shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobboT Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Below some of the individual units. First the Indicator Azimuth and Range Next is the Wankel generator (unpainted) The antenna. The eletronics/generator tray. Coming all together now. And finally. Complete. Now to base it and then I will try to get some more photos showing the inside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagtail Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Lovely job and great to see more British cold war stuff on here, great work on the wiring on the back of the electronics / generator tray love it! From one Ex-Gunner to another, top job and Ubique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobboT Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks Wagtail. However I was one of the guys that fixed what you gunners broke. I was REME but spent all my time in serving with Arty regiments (LADs and Wksps). Will try to get some more photos up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Lovely work, I'm quite tempted to get a Takom 432. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
