Wanted - Professional-Level Repair/Modifcation on My Hellcat
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:27 pm
One of the guns on my 1:18 bbi Hellcat is broken off. I bought some 3/32 brass tubing, with the idea of drilling out all six guns and replacing them, but when I started to work on it, it became obvious that I might make things worse. Is there an established board member (been on the board for at least six months) who'd want to take this on for me?
Here's what I have in mind -
- Drill out all six guns (including the outboard guns, which are flush with the wing leading edge).
- Replace with the brass tubing, cut to appropriate lengths, painted flat black or gunmetal gray, and installed straight and true.
- Overall, a professional-level result that is an overall improvement to the piece.
We would agree upon an estimated price and timeframe for the work beforehand; I would ship you the wings and the tubing; pay you with PayPal (preferably) and you would ship back the wings when completed.
If interested, please PM me. Thanks!
