I dont really have a set of plans. I have the 1/48th drawing that George Bradford did, but it is very innaccurate. I also have an old MilMod that has a Geoffrey Futter 1/76th drawing. It also has some innaccuracies, and because it is 1/76th it is also short on detail. I can send you either if you want but I have not used them in my build, preferring to scale from photos. The fact that all dimensions have to be adjusted to match Tamiyas hull does limit the value of a scale plan anyway.

There was an article on building a 1/25th version in Military Modelcraft in 2007. I have a zip file of the article if you would like it. Does not help much with construction, but it has some nice ref photos.

Are you familiar with the late Steve Cruickshanks builds? There are a couple of galleries on Photobucket <http://s50.photobucket.com/user/BARV/library/BARV-BUILD?sort=3&page=1>.

I think I have an example of the snatch block that you mean. I will photograph with a rule for scale when I get a mo or a round tuit; whichever comes first.

Thanks, would appreciate that. The block I am interested in looks like this -

Dave,

I have the FVRDE schedule of recovery equipment and it has GA drawings of most of the bits of recovery equipment. I should be able to e-mail a copy of it later this week. Feel free to chase if I forget.

That would be great thanks John

I have had a good look around my selection of snatch blocks; sorry I don't have one like your picture.
