British T-class

[toppack]

I have all the drawings here, and am hoping to blow them up to be exactly the right scale.

Yes, they are the only game in town, and they are taken from Admiralty drawings given to John Lambert many years ago. All good stuff.
Mike,

Okay, Great,
Thanks

Wake Up, Mike
I'm ready to start my (Hot-rod Model-T). :D
Where's my Parts and Drawings??? :confused:

[Kazzer]

The model is ready and His Eminence has shipped the Sub-drivers, so we should have them on Friday.

[toppack]

Great, What about the Scale-Drawings and the 3/16" 35mm Props?
Those are the things I've been worrying about. ;)

[Kazzer]

Plans have been rescaled and will be available in a couple of days. I'm pretty sure we have the props, but I'll check when I call in the warehouse.

[toppack]

What! Me Worry?
Nothing to Worry about! :D

I found another model of the Tally-ho. :)
I was beginning to think no one else had done a model of that boat.

Mike,
I see that John Lambert also has drawings of the guns used on the T-class. The 4" mark-XXIII and 20.mm Oerkilon.
Are those included with the drawings you have?
I may not necessarily need those but would be great to have, since I'll probably be completely hand fabricating those.

"T" Class MK3

Hello:)
This is my first post, so here goes.
My late father was one of the crew of HMS/M Truculent, She went down on the 12/01/1950, a total of 64 was lost along with 5 R.A.F crew, so you see I have an interest in "T" class boats.

To the gentleman doing the Tally-Ho have you read the book called The Hunting Submarine, the fighting life of HMS/M Tally-ho
(ISBN 0718302737)

I look forward to talking to you all soon.:D

Mk 23 4" Gun

Hello me again

I have a copy of John Lambert plans of the 4" Gun, can do a copy for you if you like. I also got a 20mm AA gun made for me by Deans Marine here in the U.K.

No, I've not seen that book anywhere. I'll try to find it. Sounds Interesting!
Thanks,

That would be Great! :)
Do you have a Paypal account? I'd be glad to send any S&H required. If not, we can make other arrangments? Can you send it by email attachment?
I found a drawing of 4" gun, on internet, but it only has left side view. :(

Maybe I should find out what Mike Caswell has for me first tho. ;)

I don't understand about the 20mm from Dean's. Do they stock them or was your's a special order and they used their drawings to make a one-off for you?
Was it in 1/48th scale?

[toppack]

I found a 20mm-Oerkilon kit at Dean's, but it's 1/24th scale. Is that the one you got?
I would need to put it in my 'Shrinking Ray'. :D LOL :D

I found and ordered the book about Tally-ho, at an online bookstore in Australia. Shipping will probably be more than the book cost but 'What tha Heck' we're Havin' Fun. :D

I found Info about sinking of the Truculent. Ran into a Swedish tanker while manuvering between ships in Thames. Most men got out when she sank but then froze in the freezing water. Very sad, Indeed.

Hi
I can do a photo copy on to A4 and post it to you, as for the 20mm Ron Dean did me two guns, I will look up his e-mail adress and post it on to this site, he just may do a small run of them,

Lets not forget that John Lambert makes a living from these plans, I do have a copy of his guns drawings, but I am trying to work out a small royalty deal if I run a copy. To date, I've not found any interest in the plans and it hasn't been something I needed to do so I've not pressed John.

The plans I have --

4"gun QF Mark XXIII on 4" S2 Mounting
4.7" gun QFSA 40 calibre gun on CP Mark XV mounting 1930
The latter was fitted to HMS Thames & Porpoise & Some Parthian and Rainbow class boats.

Lambert has a few other plans see www.lambert-plans.com

1 sheet subject = £10.50 and he takes Paypal.
