I need some help scratch building a rudder. I have seem to lost the one that came with the kit. I’m building the USS Arizona by revel in 1/426 scale. Any help would be great. Thanks everyone.
what do you need, a drawing of it? try this link of the sideview of her. www.researcheratlarge.com/…/RG19AlphaArizona162285-2_a.jpg
Contact REVELL they will send you one
Actually it could be a nice little project. The real thing is pretty simple.
Find a drawing, maybe there’s a side view in the instructions. Blow it up to the same size as the kit, cut it out and glue the pattern onto a thick piece of plastic like an old credit card.
Cut it out, round off the edges and there she sails.
Somehow I manage to lose a bunch of rudders too- usually I break them off.
Rough Seas?
the drawing is in the link i provided. use .040" or 1mm sheet plastic for the rudder as that is what i did for my 1945 1/426 scale uss pennsylvania.
Thank you all for the great Ideas. It drives me crazy when I loose or break a part.
