LSM HELLENIC NAVY REVELL 1/144 (lights and motors)

Nikolaos Kouzinis
The vehicles are 1/144 and are in the lsm kit. I loaded them with timber tubes, camouflage nets, generators, transformers, ammunition boxes, wire coils, and a homemade cannon. It did not make sense to be empty. There are also 3 Serman battle tanks but Greece has never had such. I exchange them with M-47 or M-48 if anyone is interested.

I decided to put motor and lights. The filosophy putting the wires in ship is different from the aircrafts. I fixed the metallic axis with metal support parts strong fixed with cyanoacrylate and soda

Nikolaos Kouzinis
The problem is the motor movement power to the double axis. It' s a mechanical problem to stabilize correct the axis so the pressure on axis motor must be zero. In that case the motor operation will be without problems So one motor will give movement to both axis with an elastic belt.

The battery power for the motor calculated to 1,5V alcaline.I 'll put the small battery dehind of ship base.

The lights will be double choice. Leds and smd leds. I ''ll try for smallest with optical fibres

To convert it to Greek, windows and a roof must be added to its tower. Additional conversion must be done and in the cannons (oerlikons) must be done double too..

I cannot share fotos in this time (the system says retry)so I 'll retry again later.

I could not find an M-48 chariot in 1/144 so I decided to convert one Sherman of the kit to an M32. I also discovered that the Greek army had in service some M32 almost at the same time as the time of this particular ferry. So it's a good solution I think to replenish the load. I cut the cannon and made the tower out of balsa wood. The crane from a landing support system of a Russian helicopter. The various cans of aluminum soft drink. The rope from spare ropes. I chose theolive drubl color for the corp muddy enough because a crane is usually required to tow a chariot either due to damage or mud.

Very cool.....This is a fun kit and you are really off to a great start with the truck camo.

If you want to escape from your calm and you want to break your nerves, take this model of Revell. The application of this Revell kit is very bad. The Germans simply make it difficult. Basically one side of the boat is 1-1.5 mm shorter even though the gluing followed the absolute instructions of the guides and instructions .. This creates all these side effects that I have circled and you can not do much because the model has muled and is not under more pressure because it will break. I'm sorry that I paid 50 euros for Revell and it is considered a relatively new model, although I avoid it as a company, but I bought it because it is a Greek issue and one day it will not exist ..

Then I started to install the bow doors and the ramp. None of the pieces are the right size. I found that the ramp does not fit in the gap with the side parts of the door. I started cutting the left and right of the side walls so that it would not fit. After the massacre, the ramp started to close somewhat but I did not proceed with further cutting because the joints of the side walls would weaken. In addition, the connector of the ramp with the boat is now shorter, so I made a new one from wire with longer stems. Finally, the doors do not go into the holes up and down to open and close. Of course, the thin pieces that go into the holes broke, so I replaced them again with wire. They do not close completely because the ramp does not fit in the door. The whole bow is a gangrene and of course the designer of the model for this point is forgive me for the dung.
