I drew this for HMAS Swan and HMAS Yarra; but what the hell: how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

just doing that now...... I assume you mean the ikara launcher? I assumed these were the old ones due to the fact that IIRC these were drawn before my time on the bucket, with drawings with a lot outdated looking parts on it....... so I did not bother to check it :S it might as well be correct. it is a lot smaller then mine though.... :S well, I leave it up to you guys which one's better. |

If you've got a better version, that's spot on in scale, then no problem. My only concern was that we seem to be spending a lot of time on the forum working over various parts: the tail does not wag the dog (unless you're Dustin Hoffman). |

I hadn't realised PB had redrawn it, I probably had at the time!! I like the way the missile is one the launcher. There is lot of pixel-colouration with most of it being purple etc. so it needs some work. Maybe if Ace can determine the proper scale etc. a hybrid could be drawn using the best elements of both as we've done before for other parts. As I say must RN ships hide the launcher so its not a mega-need but we want to get it right if the size is way out. |

yeah, I will look into it. I really wonder on the size now, as PB's is so much smaller :S hood, that leaflet on the type 12 refit, would the launcher be on that? I cannot think on any better reference then that, myself..... as I have no construction plans to scale it from, that might be the best chance. |

No, the launcher is not in the drawing but it shows the magazine layout nicely! ![[ img ]](http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3919/8g9.png)

I've just redrawn the single 2pdr pom-pom Mk I/II since the current one is two times too big. A quick question though, the only colour photos I've found show a brass water jacket around the barrel. Do any of you guys know if this was on common on all guns or just certain one (perhaps pre-war or early war)? I can't tell from B&W photos and the likelihood of using brass at the height of the war seems unlikely. |

..... and then I found out, with the type 82 reference, that my new Ikara was too big and PB's was too small...... I might update this post with an new drawing later today, including the magazine of course (if it is done, it is best done good) EDIT: first one, more to come after a bit of research, but all australian fits should have the same handling room but an different magazine possible...... and then I start further research on the RN Ikara layout (any help is welcome) ![[ img ]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/63276563/Ikara%201.png) EDIT 2: the perth seems to have had an shorter, but wider arrangement. I suspect an handling room for each launcher and an magazine in between, as the funnel crosses exactly the space that would otherwise have been magazine. |
