I have been working on the smoke dischargers again and decided it was time I got the smoke canisters made. So I approached Tim Catton for help and this is what we have come up with, I think they look very close to the originals. There are two types, the Nb.k.S.39 which uses aluminium and which seem ...

Hi Vince, thanks for the offer, unfortunatly I've no 3D printer. After I put the post up I wondered if I still had the marials to make them with and I have, so I will do some more when I have time.

Great work Vince, I made mine out of brass a few years back and intended to make some spares but never got round to it. If you are making any for sale let me know please, although I only want the S-Mines. Don't for get the little tongue that holds the sleave in place. S-mine Launcher 13.JPG Paul. :w...

So after nearly two months I have finally finished my early tigers counter balance. Using the parts I had, I reworked them using the pictures in the research squad book I think I now have a fairly reasonable replication of the counter balance.

Hi Phil,

Hi Sam, I am not really sure, if Kent was still on here he would know. I have seen it written down somewhere but I cannot find the exact measurement that it moved by, I think it was 7mm horizontal and 14mm vertical, but I am not sure. The only reason I would think it would need to be adjusted would ...
