Wm Blecky Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm wondering in anyone else here has seen this new release from Artscale for a 1/72 British radio station set, which includes: 1 pc power supply for WS 19 MKII 2 pcs WS 19 MK II 1 pc amplifier RF No. 2 1 pc receiver R107 2 pcs of protective frame I am curious as to where this set could be used. Is it something that would be seen in an aircraft (a Lancaster or Wellington for example), or perhaps more suited for a tank or jeep? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Sure I came across a number 19 set in the air cadets 50 years ago. Don't remember anything about it though, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this should be moved out of military aircraft into military vehicles you need to contact a moderator to do this for you. Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The post/thread does not require moving as the OP is inquiring if this radio set was ever used in aircraft. The 3D design is originally from a Czech producer firma49 https://www.firma49.cz/p/british-radio-station/ It has been pointed out elsewhere that, though it is nicely detailed, it is missing some key feature particularly the variometer. That is the cylindrical object on the top left of photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Not avionics. Army kit. Correct about tanks and 'jeeps'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wm Blecky Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 I do not want to see this become a dickering match about where this belongs. When I originally posted, I honestly was not sure. Although Work In Progress was able to clarify that for me (thank you once again), I still wonder how difficult it would be to adapt it to a Lancaster or Wellington. Perhaps not the whole set, but maybe pieces of it. It looks so nicely detailed, it would add to the cockpit/radio operator's area in one of those birds.

Looks like I'll end up ordering a few things from them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure they would appreciate it. Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to do that when there are excellent aftermarket sets available for the T1154/R1155 sets that were used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatG Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Let's give this gentleman a break here, he was just offering a potential new source of detail and was making a positive contribution to try and help. Many members post absolutely nothing on the forum and are not proactive so give credit where it is due for being engaged as without this approach the forum would stagnate. OK, the item may not have an aero application after all but credit for highlighting it, and I'm sure it will not be the last item raised that subsequently turns out to be a dead end of sorts. Just my opinion. Pat. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every cockpit/interior detail set for the Lancaster / Halifax / Stirling / Wellington / Whitley / Mosquito includes the T1154/R1155 radio sets - resin, photo etch, 3d print - 1/72, 1/48, 1/32. You pays your money, take your pick. Apart from the Mosquito they're not really visible inside the fuselage anyway. If you do want a nice model of the radios themselves, Barracuda do a very nice set in 1/32 https://barracudacals.com/collections/1-32-resin-detail-sets/products/lancaster-wwii-radio-upgrade-set The Artscale stuff looks very nice and will no doubt look great on a suitable military model, but will likely come with a suitable price tag which will get you a complete interior detail set with the correct radio setup for whichever British bomber your building. I'm not criticising you for bringing the sets to our attention, or for querying their use; only pointing out that for an aircraft such as a Lancaster there are much better appropriate alternatives with more bang for your buck 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wm Blecky Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Thank you. As nice as Roy's resin sets are, unfortunately his set is 1/32 and not 1/72, so I can not use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On 11/01/2024 at 22:28, Wm Blecky said: from Artscale I note Hannants list it as "Aircraft detailing sets (resin)" which may explain the confusion. I mention this as Art Scale do decals, lots of them. They do various Hurricane sheets, I spotted them last summer. THEY ARE WORTHLESS GARBAGE!!!! https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235127999-more-cobblers-hurricane-decals-warning-artscale/ I have not gone through their range in any detail, but I did email about the Hurricane sheets, no response. If they are doing an army radio as aircraft detailing then it shows the level of research similar to the Hurricane sheet. In the thread it was mentioned another of similar 'quality' ......... 3 hours ago, Dave Swindell said: The Artscale stuff looks very nice check first would be my suggestion.
