Hi there. Can anyone point me in the direction of some model making quality photos of the sonar winch gear on the stern of the Type 81 (Gurkha/Ashanti).  The plans I have are for Ashanti, but pre Mod.  I served on Gurkha but aft was not my part of ship and although I walked past it hundreds of times just can't remember what it looked like, and back then I was not thinking of models.
Any assistance appreciated

Do these help?

 That's fantastic. My web search found nothing like these.

Many thanks for the photos.  I think my guesstimates are not quite in proportion.  And my skill set leaves a lot to improve on, if I can stop my hang s shaking.

These are for a Leander so should help. They print out at 1/96 scale.

It's a more than reasonable start Stuart! Just shorten the pillars and add the guide horns around the pulley and I reckon you will have it.


Nice job so far  And remember, if you are enjoying the project then that is the only important thing to worry about.

Many thanks Mudway. I will now have to sit down and think this through, I might not have too much modifying to do, I hope
