Would like to attempt a 1/24 scale build of 4.5 in rocket launcher for the back of a jeep. Can any one point me in the right direction for some drawing. The only other alternative is to buy a 1/35 scale kit of the launcher and take measurements from it.
Not sure if I should also post this on the armor forum or not. I’ll see what kind of feed back I get from here.
Thanks Dave
I think getting scale drawings for scratch building is possibly the most difficult job in scratch building. Some genres are easier than others (there are quite a few sources for ships and planes). You might try a military museum- explain what you are doing and ask to take measurements if they have one of the objects you are interested in. Sometimes a google image search will yield scale drawings. I am not familiar with the rocket launcher you are talking about. Would it be a current model? If so maybe a local National Guard unit might have one. I made a large caliper set out of wood to make measurements when I find a subject I am interested in modeling, to go along with photos. To avoid distortion due to perspective when doing reference photos, try to take pictures square on (perpendicular to) the major axes.
