Ok. I am almost done with my Jill and i am going to put it in a beach/coastal airfield closeup dio. I need to know how i would go about making a bomb/torpedo loader type wagon/vehicle. Anyone have any ideas or photes to help me on my way. My Jill is 1/48 scale
to help i must know what a jill is,sorry i don’t know of it. but what era are you going for. the best thing is to do a yahoo search until you come up with the best pic,then i always use small metal rods to getthe handle and axle.then i use wood(balsa) which comes in a multitude of shapes and sizes,that can be manipulated into the shape you need fairly easy,but let me know what era and country it’s from and i’ll do alittle research i kinda like the research so no problem
The Jill is a Japanese B6N2 Carrier Torpedo/Bomber. I’ve looked but i didn’t see any thing so that’s why i’m asking here
i done alittle research and didn’t find a thing but i thought of something that should help you out i remembered that in the movie battle of midway there is a scene of the japs rearming the aircraft before the attack and i can almost say with certainity that they show the cart you need, s o thats the best i can come up with good luck
Ok. I found a pic of what I’m looking for. How would i scale this to 1/48th when i build it?
Your picture is of a British loader? I guess the JNAF used something similiar? In any case, there’s a old kit - Revel’s Aircraft Accessories in 1/48 which includes a US loader. Perhaps you can customize that to your needs. I have a picture of it on my website, here’s a direct link …
