Model Forum / General / Models / March 2006Anyone Recognize This?
Hi, I am trying to ID this model part. I have no idea what it could be, it doesn't look like anything I've ever come across. Please take a look at the photos: http://pic13.picturetrail.com/VOL487/165613/9423572/133283256.jpg http://pic13.picturetrail.com/VOL487/165613/9423572/133283250.jpg http://pic13.picturetrail.com/VOL487/165613/9423572/133283241.jpg If you have any idea what type of kit this might be from, please let me know... and thanks for taking a look!

Why not show a larger picture of that. Dennis How about a whip antennae that is mounted on the side of a ship's island? > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Partologist Thanks for the responses guys... the part is on a flat surface, but it doesn't belong there. That was just for the photo basically. As far as it being a whip antenna, I too thought it was an antenna but the length-- about 2 inches long-- would seem to preclude it being from a ship kit since they are all small scale for the most part. Also, it seems rather thick and clunky to be an antenna... but alas, that was my first guess as well. I'm thinking that this is a part that holds an aileron or stabilizor on a wing or tail of an airplane. I've seen something like this before but can't place it exactly. The part exists as is, then the wing/tail surface is slid over and down the shaft, so it can be moved back and fourth. But maybe not. :-) Any chance it's a bit from a tank? I'm thinking maybe something from Heller - I built their AMX 13/75 recently and it just kinda looks Hellerish, if you get my drift. (c: RobG It looks like a hinge pin. Too thick to be an antenna (well ,for most antennas we see), and not a gun barrel because there's no breech. It's kinda long to be a hinge pin, however, unless the thin end goes into a cup to give it rigidity. It looks like a recoil piston assembly for some sort of artillery piece. Is it curved on one side of the mount end? Looks like it should go over the top of a cylinder. Cookie Sewell > Any chance it's a bit from a tank?

Maybe a tank antenna? Looks like some part of an armor model to me too. but what? >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >Partologist *time is an enemy* |
