Yago, how are you my friend, yes we all have some crazyness inside :gogo
Hi my friends, as promised another update on the S-100. This time the ammo racks for the side machineguns. I used a .005 brass sheet to make it Here the left side rack with the measurements
The right side needs to be modified to accommodate the rack; you need to remove 1mm from
the molded door for the rack to fit into the corner
After the cut just sand smooth and redo the round edge
Now the rack fits perfectly
Now I reworked the seats, new supports where made using wire and two pieces of brass tube for the pivots
Here the original and the reworked one to the right
The new seat with the brass pivots; the two pieces are glued next to the ammo racks
The seats are movable; a piece of angular strip is glued to limit the movement of the seat like in the original boat
Next job was to cut the cover of the compass located at the middle of the boat to install the plate
From the Edward kit
With the cover removed and the plate installed it was time to do the crystal dome
For this job I used a ball bearing closest to 8mm I found
This was glued to a plastic rod and placed on the vise, then used a piece of heated clear styrene
To form the dome around the ball
After that you just cut the dome from the plastic sheet and sand the edge smooth
Now you just need to paint the dial and you’re done
The throttle controls are also modified, I did the new ones with styrene and parts from the
Edward set
Using a styrene strip, make two pieces 2.25mm long and make one of the sides pointed
With .80mm styrene rod made the arms, one at each side
Glue the pointed pieces to each side
It should look like this
Now make a double pointed indicator for the center lever and Glue it to the center position
Using the original part cut the 3 levers and glue it to the top of the indicators, the left and right
Ones should be glued a little to the center as in the photo
And there it is, a great improvement over the original
More coming soon, thanks for watching!
