HI Ian that radar is the biggest P/E part ive done or will do never again as it was hard to build but i thought a board not just for P/E but another build board as mine is all covered with bumbs of superglue every where so hence a bigger board but thanks for the info

AN Rick cheers for your kind comments an like Johns im very pleased with the DOGS lol what i'll do with them is another matterNice work on the RADAR Chris.........I have no doubt in your abilities. The Dogs award is well deserved! Cheers, Rick H.
proberly frame them 
what goin on it should all light up well out come the circut tester an yes after nr an hour of testin where the wires all go through plugs id found that i had wired it all up back to front AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH but soon as i found out what id done it was just a simple matter of reveseing all the wires now it GOES OK thank goodness
WOW Tim well it certainly tryed me out i could not beleive it but i know how this happened now thinking it through as the main feed plugs are on the underside of the hanger roof but the feed out plugs to the controll bubble an the main mast are on the top side so when i turned it upside down hence my thinking went upside down as well lol
B/M Rick you'll never get away with it will you except monopley money lolToo late Chris........the Revocation committee have met and the only way to retain the Award is to send copious amounts of CASH preferably USD (large denominations only), to the address, soon to be provided by the committee, in a large plain brown envelope.
Hi Chris, wow that is some radar you put together, did you have use solder to hold the parts n place, the first Type 42 destroyer had the same main radar, how long did it take you , the main mast is looking awesome , my ships mast will be a challenge indeed ,..
HI Tony well IT TOOK ME A WEEK TO BUILD but first off i had a good think of how building this P/E radar would be built an yes i first thought id solder it but with me getting the shakes at time that was a no go as the iron would be all over the show an proberly burn myself into the bargain an plus as it was a big P/E unit it would need strenghtening with 1mm brass box section an that means wheight so no go as when building a ship thats goin to sail top wheight must be whatched carefully so i thought right brass is out so i SUPER GLUED in 1mm sqaure plastic evergreen strips to the inside panels so there is somethig to glue too an its light not heavy like brass this radar is bigger that big main search radar on my type 42 an that was in 1/64 th scale lords knows how big this radar would have been in 1/64 scale as its over 4 inches in 1/72 SCALE so its big an hope you can build your mast an radars ok
HI Tyron, nice to hear from you again an no its not airfix or revell lol its a little bit bigger than them kits an its a so far 2 an half yr scratchbuild in 1/72 scale which is big an still about 2-3 yrs to go of the build as this is a sailing R/C ship
this one when it picks up a target then it stops an then goes into the target height find mood to direct fire i think ive got that right as not sure on that
