Hi Neptune

Thanks to you and also travelling_man because you have created my interess in Udaloy boat I'm building.
I have build previous Perkasa also from Arkmodel !
The kit I have received has the deck already in place but the task about access to inside hull is not easy.

Let me know which battery you use and running time. I suppose I should go lipo because the access is too much narrow for lead/gel bateries.

Also how do you run your antennas ? 2.4 or 35 Mhz

Thanks for your help :

What sort of model are you after? Modern, WW2, Cold War?

I know of a company that has a very extensive array of semi-kits in 1:72 scale. APS Models of Australia.

APS doesn't have a website as they are already flat out with a six month backlog, however word of moth has seen him receive orders from as far away as the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere.

They do a wide variety of semi-kits, ranging from almost complete down to some that are pretty much just hull, some fittings and a plan.

Check out the links in my sig block to see the variety of kits on offer, the vast majority are APS kits.

I have been told that Voyage Models are supposedly good http://www.voyagemodel.com/en/index.asp but when I have emailed I have had zero response. I quite fancy giving their Invincible a go http://www.voyagemodel.com/cqzx-n.asp?productid=320 ! Apparently the guy doesn't speak any English so doesn't respond (so why do a website in English?????) so will get my missus to write for me!

I just bought the 1/200 Yamato to keep me going until i find that special kit

by **Neptune** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 4:07 am

I see, mine in the scratch build section. After a few mails without reply, I stopped mailing and bothering and just started scratchbuilding whatever there was missing. Occasionally also scratchbuilding parts that were there, as the quality is also pretty poor. The PE set is pretty good though...
The stern is indeed the most notable failure in this kit.

No im not anymore mate, My model hull was way to broken and warped no instructions and to be honest alot of parts missing very poor quality all over
But on a good note they refunded my $1400 dollars
So im on the hunt for another big ship model from somewhere if anyone knows any good companys please let me know

Hi, no basically was "tough, we're not sending you anything else" or in their own words "sorry seems not able to sent the parts you need .i feel very sorry. the work tell me he can't give those small parts you need."

Hull was I have to say quite poor in places although nothing that so far hasn't been manageable. The stern section was quite by far the worst and to be honest very poor quality in this area.

Are you doing a build thread too?

Still in Baku at the minute and likely to be for a while. Sure by the time I get home the enemy commander will have calmed down enough to let me carry on! Really itching to get on with it again!!!

"Admiral Levchenko"

Its relationship to the base that it rotates upon is still unclear and I will have to determine its centre of rotation by searching for images with the turret partially rotated. I cannot trust the drilled hole for sure!

This photo can you help!!!

Hmm, I'm at sea at the moment. Will be home in about a month, Steve can you measure the diameter and length of your?
They are the exact tubes you see in Steve's post. They do have a small lube oil tube on them too.
Mine do have a slightly inward tapered (conical) end towards the aft.
Apparently ARK is still changing its product from time to time.

you're secretely waiting for me to get home and start again on mine aren't you???

LOL!!! Doh! Rumbled!!!

I was actually making headway, I'd found a small work area that I could rent! Unfortunately it would appear that work may get in the way and I may soon be off to Baku

Still, be good to put money IN the bank for a change!

Hi!

What diameter and length have shafts and stuffing tubes?????

Hi

There is no doubt that the ARK stuffing tubes are FAR superior to those installed in the Tian Jie kits!!! There's just NO comparison!! I will pull out my build from her box tomorrow if I get chance and try and get the measurements you need!

Cheers

Steve

We all seem to get into trouble with this class!

Dave, that seems to imply that you look a lot younger than you really are (unless you got married when you were 10

)

Hi Dave

Sounds ideal!

Unfortunately in China we live in an apartment on the 10th floor so all I have is the balcony and my office. I do keep the area I work clean (or at least clean up after I finish for the day) but she just went into gob-wobble mode yesterday.

However the place we have just got in the UK has a garage and so I will be able to build unmoaned at there!! Down side of that is not only when we are going to be there next, but when I can get everything shipped to BE there!!!!
