HeavyArty Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I am planning on converting the 1/32 Fly Model Wessex to a USMC UH-34D. The Wessex landing gear is different, basically a J model, single horizontal strut on each side that goes into the side of the fuselage. The D model used wishbone-style horizontal struts that mounted under the fuselage. What I need is the measurements of the wishbone strut in either the Italeri, Revell, or Gallery Models 1/48 UH-34D kits. Below is from the Gallery Model kit and shows what I am talking about. I have circled the wishbone horizontal strut. I have also labeled the measurements I need: A - one side horizontal strut, B - other side horizontal strut, C - horizontal cross brace, and D - vertical strut. Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance. Edited July 1, 2020 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Are you doing a nose conversion as well in 1/32? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Here you can find it 3D printed.

I hadn't seen those. They will be perfect. I also bought your UH-34D YN19 decals for this project. (Some 1/35 Black Hawk decals too.)

HeavyArty Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Yes, hopefully you will find someone to cast it up. If not, I may have to resort to giving it a try myself. I'm not looking forward to that prospect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not looking forward to that prospect. I just got it yesterday from the printshop. It a big piece and will require some tweeking with the kit, it looks awesome. Next stop is to make resin copies.
