RecyMech Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Evening all.....I'm in the process now of gathering all the info needed for one of next years 1/24th scale kit releases. The FV432 Mk2/1. Although I'm doing quite well so far, I'm really struggling to find any reference pics of the K60 outside of its pack frame. Would any kind soul have any pics of a K60 engine, stripped out of the frame that I might perloin ? Or anything from a manual perhaps ideally showing both sides of the block with all the gubbins out of the way. Bit of a long shot I know but you blokes have never disappointed yet :kiss: Best regs all. Howard @ KFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Are these any help? They're actually an Abbot engine and box but identical for your purposes, methinks ... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Andy, Sorry to hijack matey's thread but . . . what prep work did you do before painting that pack? I am about to haul out a Ferret pack and will need to paint it, just wondering what you did to make sure it sticks well. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 100% but a lot better than it was. In case you're wondering, I wasn't worrying about overspray onto the pack frame as it was actually sitting in a 432 frame at the time; it's a 432 to 433 pack conversion for my Abbot.

Andy Another thread Hijack :-) Can I ask where you got the engine paint? Is it sky blue BS101? I'm after a supplier for a tin.

andym Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I did indeed get the paint from Marcus Glenn - he does it in aerosols and the price difference didn't warrant getting out the spray gun (and cleaning it afterwards!) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Andy, Top hole mate, top hole !! It's all starting to fall into place now I can see behind all the gubbins lashed on the outside. Cheers for those, massive help !!
