a4s4eva Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Odd request, I'm looking for some dimensions of the Drogue from a buddy store or other hose refuelling unit (assuming they are the same size). I'm specifically after the approximate diameter of the drogue when extended but anything will do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Here dude, this should do... (NOTE: Drouge diameter is different for the older style, 24" while the newer type is 30") Edited April 19, 2016 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a4s4eva Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) That's gold. Thanks a lot. Now I have to figure out how to make it in 1/48 scale Edited April 20, 2016 by a4s4eva Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) I'd imagine photoetching those drogue ribs would be the best way to make all 36 ribs identical. Then a thin strip of wet tissue paper for the cloth parts. Then make a ring, and make a cut every 10 degrees around the ring.
