Larkspur 27ft mast dimensions query, for Land Rover model build

[Royal42]

Hello all,

I am building a kit of a Land Rover to 1:35 scale which will represent a vehicle I used in Norway.  I would like to find out what the components of a 27ft mast consisted of, including the isolator unit, and their measurements.

The mast is connected to a flat metal plate which is clamped to the rear left bumper unit and also clamped to the rear left canopy frame.

Any information and advice on this would be appreciated.

cheers,

Mike

27-ft Telescopic Mast. NSN: 5985-99-102-8303

RACAL MA638 Lightweight(*) telescopic mast.

* - This is an outright lie. (Also, the rigging kit is heavier than the mast.)

I'm just wondering how deeply my masts are buried, they may require emptying the shed.

I don't have the vehicle mounting kit unfortunately.

Chris.

Two great photographs  - in service pics of winterised Lightweight are very , very rare.  Sorry I can't assist with your query.

Mike, I’ll try and get some measurements for you. 
The mounting I’ve got one on the way as never seen one before ( as said in the other post) 

They’re a very handy mast to be honest, but never thought I’d be sticking it on the back of the lightweight until I seen your pics.
