perdu Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) For fear of this moving 'off-piste' have a look at the test piece I am making Not a good picture but will keep the Palouste in the public eye I hope Apologies, normal service needed resuming as soon as possible Edited April 6, 2018 by perdu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Chally Alert Chally Alert Calling Mr Quikfit Chally71 James you always know tyre sizes, can you tell me the DIMENSIONS of the wheels on the Palouste please It'd be a shame not to use resources properly after all Thanks in anticipation b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 I think as standard that they were 10" x 3" tyres on a 4" rim. This pod has 260 x 85mm tyres fitted to the 'main wheels' which is now a more common size to find, probably got to a case of find and fit it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thank you James I have been 'knocking up a few wheels' but a thought occurs How does that compare to the tailwheel on, for example, a Sea Fury, I might have a spare that could be pressed into moulding service and comparing it alongside the casting it looks reasonably like the photospread Harrier outriggers too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Both Harrier and Sea Fury little wheels are 13" diameter, I guess that you could do what you did with your Wasp and reduce the wheel sizes. A Sea Fury tailwheel looks a lot more like the Palouste wheels, and nearer the correct section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 To return to Perdu's old project, one of them, I am considering making a dio using a Palouste and a couple of crewmen As my general topic is the RN/FAA can anyone advise me the correct colour bib to be worn by the guys who would manhandle the Palouste pipe up to a Buccaneer's starter flap, please I get that different trades on deck would be defined by the colours they wore and it looks to me, as if the deck crew handling the aircraft would wear white bibs but the few pictures I have gleaned dont show the specific 'man' with a hose about to do the job I see Navy blue general clothing, with maybe a padded and earmuffed helmet/hat and various coloured bibs Johnny-Start-Engine's colours would be welcome, both for the Bucc S1's term of 'office' and possibly also the Gannet CODs on Ark Royal as maybe there would be changes over time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I love coming here to the Movies, thanks Began an early try to build the yellow upper frame I don't like it in wire so I'm off to try out 0.020" plastic rod by Evergreen See you later I hope 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 A little update on my Paloustering I made the frame for mine and now I've to teach myself Photoshopppery so I can learn to draw accurate teardrop shapes If Cheshiretaurus, Fritag and Hendie amongst other notables can do it I reckon it to be time I went back for chemistry lessons And a flattened out Palouste basket looks like a fun way to grow new mental muscules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 But a) you have the satisfaction of a) having scratch-built it and thus triggered CMk into action and b) we watached you do it so we can plagiarise imitate your work.

perdu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Only joking James, I had the pleasure of making it and... Well you know the rest And we all know it wouldn't have happened if you had not rolled the ball downhill with your photographic oddyssy I feel bad about not knocking a few out for you Crisp, I'm just not too clever with numbers and scaling There have been plans afoot but... 😕 Hmm, should I go about making after market after market I wonder? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I dunno, you craft the hell out of two basic and old Buccaneer kits, and Airfix announces a new kit of one, you scratch build a Palouste and CMK release one! Hopefully there is a decent 72 Sea Vixen waiting in the wings, oh and could you have a go at a Scimitar while you're there Bill! I agree completely with Crisp, yourself, and weselves, had the pleasure of your superb pod builds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
