BOATMANS HMS TIGER C20 scratch build for R/C

[BOATMAN]

rear funnel with them cooling fan units

 

[BOATMAN]

off again with some pics all an here ive just fitted in the water smoke unit an its 24 voltage power fitted with a fan to blow out the steam up the pipe then up the funnel

 

[BOATMAN]

AN THE STEAM unit wont fit directly under the front funnel so had to fit a bendy bit of inch size pipe an here its fetted in place an it also helps hold on the big bridge S/S AGAINST THE WIND BLOWIN AGAINST IT

 

[BOATMAN]

AN THE STEAM comes out of the funnel lovely

 

[BOATMAN]

NEXT UP is not my fav as its A P/E big search radar that fit on the rear main mast an it went togeather easy to my surprise but thats because its big the radar is over 4 inches wide an its a box radar that the R/N used at that time

 

[BOATMAN]

as can be seen it P/E an at that time i did not have the fear of it goin wrong or the shakes an it was made by CAMMET company an i cheated a bit by fittin on some plastic sprues to help glue it togeather but it worked ok

 

[BOATMAN]

an here i sprayed it all light matt grey as when its bein built wont be able to spray in side the boxes so had to be done before bein built

 

[BOATMAN]

AN IN THE CENTRE of it i fitted two steel collets with allen screws in so when it slides on the main shaft i can then tighen up the allen screws so it wont be lose
