Yes it does take similar tales as the spigot on the back of the bomb matches the rebate on an SD Yes there the ones and took ages getting them right but they fit lovely again 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Waffenamt Posted September 20, 2018 Major General Share Posted September 20, 2018 An early SC50 and the SC50L before restoration. Plus a fractured SC70,due to low detonation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Superb Items, Lucky man and well done for finding them! (Not sure about chasing a man across a field though......He must have been knackered carrying all weight, by the time you caught him) Best to you.....IanB Edited November 27, 2018 by Desert Rat correction to text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted September 20, 2018 Major General Share Posted September 20, 2018 I will restore the SC50L first of all,will do the fractured 70 next and finally the other 50. Should have plenty to keep me occupied over Winter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Waffenamt Posted October 4, 2018 Major General Share Posted October 4, 2018 Mine arrived back from the engineer today. He has straightened out the tail spigot and the baseplate threads for me. When the new soak tank arrives next week,it will be dipped in an anti rust agent for a few days. Dried out and painted in primer for the next stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hello Waff, Great Item...Cant wait to see it all painted up..Thanks....Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted October 20, 2018 Major General Share Posted October 20, 2018 Will be going in evaporust next week. Then I will get some primer sorted. Will then be on hold until new year for final coat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hello Waff, It's looking very good....What's evaporust,....a type of primer/ undercoat? Look forward to the finished item....Best to you....Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted October 20, 2018 Major General Share Posted October 20, 2018 It’s an anti rust treatment that removes rust and leaves paint. It must be dipped in fully or it leaves a ‘line’ where it breaks the surface. Dry off and get the item primed quickly! Top coat next spring when the weather suits. It’s too cold in my unit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks Waff, Get it on the kitchen table for a good clean and spray up....sure it will ok??? I used to do the same with my motorcycle parts as I wanted to re-build them and to clean & spray...but never heard the last of it from my Mum, when I was 16-17. Now I know....Best to you....Ian Edited November 27, 2018 by Desert Rat correction to text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Waffenamt Posted November 26, 2018 Major General Share Posted November 26, 2018 The price will be right plus shipped over to the Stoneleigh show in January. Many more items too. Mind,I’ve put the effort in this last week. Me and the boss have driven 3000 kilometres round trip.... I’ve to keep it clandestine from Facebook and general social media though. Here is fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted November 27, 2018 Major General Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yep,the item is mine and due in country February. I managed to get 2 of the tail fin bolts out. The rest when at workshop . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Brilliant Waff, They will look fantastic when all cleaned and painted....By the way are these rare / very rare to find? as I have never seen anything at all like this! All I know is where a V1 came down near Edenbridge, Kent.....Near to me and in a wood, saw it some years ago and the metal parts are still sticking out of the ground (yes it did explode as it killed some cows in the field, but my mates Dad who was a farmer and owned the land watched it come down.....running for his life to the nearest barn...when the engine cut out (10 seconds to run like hell!) Do you reckon it's worth to get the detector out and start digging? This V1 we now understand was set (fuel wise) to hit Churchill's house in Chartwell, as the crow flies only possibly 1 mile away!

Desert Rat Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Hello Waff, With all your work a good beer tonight maybe? Yes I will have a look for the "Doodlebug" when I feel better. Here is an image of a V1 on it's launch pad, I found it way out from Rouen, France...in a forest, brilliant site and well worth a visit.(It took me 3 hours to bloody find it though) Best to you & Have a good weekend Ian Images Copyright of Ian R Bridle www.edenbridgetown.com Edited November 29, 2018 by Desert Rat correction to text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
