Title: Help Need Sources of 1/24 Vosper 70Ft. Guns and Fittings Sources
Post by: george on February 11, 2015, 09:00:26 pm

 Hello Again

 I am in the Early planning stages of a Vosper 70ft PT Boat. I have the plans and I would like to find a source of the Guns and fittings for it. Would be nice if there was one in the U.S but from what I remember, very little, there is a U.K souce, with the exchange and shipping, that will be a SLOW process.

 Any help will be appreciated.

 George

 Hello Again

 Thank You for the link, it helps me a lot.

 P.S.  Does anyone know of a source of a special mechanical assy, the BEST I can describe it is that holds a 12 gram compressed air disposable cylinder in it, like the ones used in pellet guns, and it basically screws together to hold the cylinder inside itself and it has ports on the end to allow you to attach lines to it to run the air supply to a regulator and then go from there to where you want. ALL of this has to be SMALL, mini size.

 I am thinking about an air pressure torpedo launch system. I know of ONE in the U.S BUT COSTLY.

 Thanks Again for the help.
