Title: 96th fittings?
Post by: Andyn on November 27, 2015, 11:06:09 pm

I'm after a source of high quality 1:96 fittings for a Deans HMS Grenville I've acquired off Mr Klunk. After ship's boats, a twin Bofors gun, a really good 40mm cannon and various sundry items. The less said about the kit fittings the better, and yes I'm far too lazy to make them myself.. Any ideas?

So I've sorted pretty much everything out today, got various parts from various suppliers, mostly in brass. The only thing I'm now missing is what is described on the plan as a Parbuckle. The best I can find a picture of it is this lovely clear image. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers Bob, I understand what one is, just have no drawings or clear photos of this type

Hi
 Try looking in the brass etched parts in the online shop ?
http://deansmarine.co.uk/shop/product_info.php/cPath/5_8/products_id/2661
 parbuckle rack in R N parlance  "Haystacks"
 you may wish to add the D C racks as well.

 lots and lots of brass etching for the kits in here, try a destroyer etch set if you are brave enough to tackle a set
