  Hey Bob you did a great job , it looks awesome. Who makes these ? I keep debating whether to get a drone.

  @PKWModelwerx17 күн бұрын

  Jerry I have a DJI drone which is a Chinese company but the biggest consumer drone manufacturer (along with camera's, microphones and other products) in the world. I recommend their products. I have far too much to say about drone features for this forum though. If you get serious we should talk. Don't go too cheap though. There are crappy drones out there.

  Thanks for the comment Mark. I hope you are well. A drone is an expensive toy but I do enjoy mine! Keep in mind, IMHO as a lawyer, you need a Part 107 commercial license to use drone footage on KZread, assuming you are entertaining being monetized in the future. So that's a further investment in both time and money.

  Never throw away those silica gel bags that show up everywhere. They are super useful in any workshop to keep reagents dry and prevent rust on tools. You can also reuse them almost indefinitely by simply by forced evaporation in an oven at up to 100 celcius. If you have a fine scale you can measure pretty easily if they are in need of replacing because they will increase in weight up to 40% when satured. Just put those in a jar and regenerate them in bulk later :) You can buy this stuff in bulk - including versions that change color as they get saturated. But free is free... ;)

  I wonder, where the carbon comes from and who buys it. Anthracite coal maybe? I think I've read tire manufacturers use it.

• 
  @PKWModelwerx2 ай бұрын

  I want to say carbon black is a by product of the petroleum industry. Not sure. But I AM sure that it is used in the rubber tire production process and is why automobile tires are a uniform black color. The carbon black also aids hardness and longevity of the tires.

  To answer a couple of concerns you had...there was only one difference between 88 rounds used in the FlaK 36 and Tiger Tank guns, and that was the primer. The flak guns used a percussion primer, while the vehicle gun rounds were electrically primed. Cases and projectiles were identical in all other respects, and cases would have been designated FlaK on the head, so that is all correct. The stenciling is also correct for this round, and is really cool to see on the model. The primer represented is indeed a C/22 Electrical Primer, so the round is correct for Tiger I. The FES stencil designates the projectile as having sintered iron driving bands as opposed to copper, so good call on painting those a steel color. They are called driving bands (not compression bands,,,) Cool kits to represent a very hard to find and expensive round. As an ordnance collector I actually have 3 FlaK/KwK 88 rounds, 2 HE and an AP. It seems to be a very accurate 1:1 model!

  Wow! What a long and helpful comment. And from an obvious expert. Thank you so much! I'll have to find a way to highlight your comment for future viewers. Yes. Very cool kit. Seriously considering the Tiger II round as well. Out of curiousity, how much does it cost to but real exaamples?

• 
  @michaeltahirak799Ай бұрын

  @@PKWModelwerx Sorry for the delay on this, I just saw your reply...so basically the FlaK gun was designated the FlaK 36 (FlaK being a contraction of Flugzeug Abwehr Kanone, or anti-aircraft gun)...the vehicle gun was KwK 36 (short for Kampfwagen Kanone, or tank gun)...FlaK/KwK 36 rounds complete in good shape are running around $1000 and up now. The rounds for the Tiger II, (KwK 43 gun) are hitting $2k now, sadly I do not have one of those, although the PIG model might fit that hole...oh, and the stenciling on the case was information on the powder used in the cartridge, charge weight, type and physical characteristics of the powder, maker, lot number....so that date on the stencil is for the powder manufacture, the date for the case would be part of the hed stamp on the base of the case. Don't know if they reproduced it on the model, but the projectile would be stamped in the steel with maker/date/lot number, and then stenciled (often, but not always) with the info on who filled the shell with explosive, what explosive was used, and date. So looking at the headstamp in your video, the case maker was avk (Ruhrstahl AG, Brackwede-Bielefeld), and was made in 1941. 6347 was the case designation for the FlaK/KwK 36 case (each type/caliber case had its own). The FlaK 18 designation was the original designation for the case, the FlaK 18 was the predecessor of the FlaK 36, they kept that designation on the headstamp. The primer shows it is a C/22 Electric primer, maker was bmv (Rheinmetall-Borsig AG, Soemmerda plant, Soemmerda) also made in 1941, 45 was a lot number. Most 88mm AP projectiles were actually filled, meaning they had an HE bursting charge with a base fuze, so that once it penetrated its target it would explode adding to the destructive power. The projectiles were loaded with 2.12 ounces of cyclonite. Hope this all helps round out the info on the shell!
