1/32 Bofors Gun And Vosper Fittings

Hi Guys,

Just thought that you may be interested to know that Nautical Marine Models latest products include some 1:32 parts for BB and the export-market versions (Perkasa, Soloven, etc), which includes a superb 1:32 Bofors gun - Nautical Marine Models - model boat manufacturer - There are also mushroom vents, box vents, various lockers, hatches, etc.

Note, Thanks for the full-size BB photos Pete, please may I take you up on your offer of the larger scans when you have a few minutes?

40mm VOSPER GUN

Hi AndiI'm working on a Kingston Mouldings hull and plan. The hull is 35" long (without the exhaust platform and plane) and is quoted on the plan as being 1:32 scale - 3/8" to the foot.

Like you I've been looking for suitable Bofors kits (although it'll be a long time before I actually need it!), but can't see any that are the same version as that fitted to BB.

Pete

Hi Pete, just to let you know that I bought my 40mm BB Bofors Gun from Nautical Marine Models, they're based in the North West of England. The Gun arrived quickly and the kit they supply is very detailed and accurate in 1:32 scale for BB Boats.

Heres a picture off their website:



Hope this helps. MONST

Hi Andy

Find your way to my home page (link under my contact details) and add 'pictures.htm' (without quotes) in the adress bar after BraveBorderer/

The pictures page will load (slowly - they're fairly large files!). I couldn't fit the last couple within my allotted space, so e-mail me from the site and I'll put them up for you.

Are you planning to build a Brave?

Hi GuysI'm new here and hoping to be allowed to jump on the Brave Borderer bandwagon.

How I got a 'Brave' hull, plans and pictures is a long story (and I've had 'em a long time), but suffice to say I've decided to convert the large lump of glass-fibre sitting on my garage shelf into a living, breathing vessel.

So here I am, bearing gifts from the darkest recesses of Cornwall.

It seems you have a need for detail information on the Borderer.

I'm happy to scan and e-mail the pictures to you, or anyone else, if interested (presumably it's okay to make contact outside of this forum?). At full size and 300 DPI it is possible to read many of the labels on the instruments (in the bridge picture), but the file is nearly 2.5 Mb - so it's probably best sent outside of the site if that's permitted. Alternatively I can scan a smaller area at higher resolution (up to about 1200 dpi) if required

In the meantime, the very best of luck with your own model, please get in touch if you want the photos.

Hi Pete,

If your offer for the Brave Borderer pic's is still available - I'm very interested as you appear to have some shots that I don't. My photo's are mainly internal but fortunate to have the Origianl Vosper drawings.

I'm currently building a 1:16 scale beast and hopefully to scale.

Should you require reimbursment - just let me know

I have a spare 1/24 perkasa bridge area if anyone is interested. Live in Luton, Bedforshire.

It needs stripping and redoing but would be good as a start.

Hms brave borderer

This boat was scratch built from plans in the late 70's at the time with an ED diesel engine. We could never get it to run properly so it was laid up for years in the loft. We decided this year to bring the boat back to life with a brushless motor and new radio gear. This footage was taken over clapham common.

have a look at my model click this youtube link

Hi folks,

I am scratch building a 1:35 Brave and would like to make up a display board for her to match others I have made.

My problem is that, although I have a B&W pikky of the badge (cropped from an old ships postcard) I have no idea of the colours used. Also it would be nice to have a better quality image to play with.



Can anyone help please?

Here are a few pikkies of the current state of build:

Gary, I don't think you'll get an answer. You've quoted an 11 years old thread.
