    Model train question....

    in Modelling Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Scott,

    Though it has been quite a while I work for a number of years in the Model Railroad hobby business.

    There were a number of manufactures of HO scale detailed resin hobby kits, but in larger scales not at that time. Like has been stated there a number of kits in 1/35 but most all are European designs including Trumpeter's Steam Locomotives. LZ Models also manufactures 1/35 rail cars and detail parts for same. There are also others but again nearly everything is European designs.

    There have been a few true O Scale 1/48" kits that have been done over the years but not sure what might be out there now.

    My close friend who owns the Model Railroad shop I worked in is still at it and he keeps he finger on the pulse of the business. If it is out there then he in all probability knows of it and can get it for you.

    His name is Robert (Bob) Branin, his shop is named Riverdale Station and is located in Riverdale, GA. just south of the airport in Atlanta.

    Email; Riverdalestation (at) gmail.com. Please contact him and let him know what you're looking for. Feel free to mention that I gave you his info.

    Best AIM 9B

    I do not see AIM-9Bs listed among Zacto Mans awesome stable of AIM-9s; something new?

    He has the -9X, -9D/G/H and the -9L/M and they are fantastic. :thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

    I have not seen in person the Eduards Brassin -9B but the best I have seen are the ones Eric G. did a number of years back but you'll have to find someone willing to part with theirs as they have long unavailable. :(

    Isn't the normal method some Tamiya putty and a blunt knife-blade or clay sculpting tool?

    It is one of the tried and proven methods but in 1/16 scale and on a modern tank where most of the welds are done by machine the putty or hot knife just don't look right to me. I'll have beads as wide as .060" or 1" to scale and they don't have that hand welded appearance they are too smooth in many cases.

    I may have to develop a tip and then perfect a technique that will yield the look needed. I've ordered one will start work on the technique and tip if needed.

    I'd buy a 32nd C-130 in a heartbeat. The most successful, versatile aircraft in history.

    Smitty, that makes at least two of us! I would build an AC-130E with the 105mm in the original gunship gray stationed at Ubon RTAFB, I twisted wrenches on them.
