Title: Brass portholes
Post by: boatman126 on November 14, 2013, 05:19:31 pm

Hi
Does anyone know where I could get some brass portholes size 24mm outside and 17mm inside?
If not does anyone know where I could get them made?
Fingers crossed :-))

May be a silly idea, but would tent eyelets be any good ? Possibly worth checking
That's what I used for the circular windows on my RAF tender

24mm dia with a 17mm glass dia seems to be a rather large flange you're looking for.
RB Model (Polish outfit) do very good ones (brass) with 16mm glass and flanges to scale. Cheap.too. BY.
