About product

USN NC-2A in 1:350 scale

The set treats the NC-2A service unit, that is, the mobile electrical power source of the US Navy. At 1:350 scale it is an inconspicuous little thing that nonetheless transforms the character of a whole deck: an empty area becomes a place of work at a stroke. The item comes from the Black Dog brand and is meant to be combined with larger ship models.

What the NC-2A unit was for

A parked aircraft needs power to check its instruments, for preflight tests of its systems and to start the engine turning. That is exactly what ground power carts were for; the ground crew brought them up to the aircraft and connected them with a cable. The onboard batteries thus stayed untouched and the routine preparation of the machine did not burden its own power sources. Equipment like this was part of the ordinary fit-out of flight decks and of land bases alike.

How to approach the set

Work calmly and with good light. Take the parts off with a thin blade, level the surfaces with an abrasive sponge and degrease them before spraying. A thin coat of primer suits it, and then the base shade in two or three mists. Contrast comes from a local wash into the corners and a discreet lightening of the edges. Seat the unit where it makes sense, that is, near the parked machines.

Who the set is for

  • builders of naval models that are missing their service equipment
  • makers of display cases with a flight deck and aircraft under preparation
  • anyone interested in aviation ground equipment in a small scale
  • modelers who enjoy finishing a scene down to the detail

The unit arrives unassembled and unpainted. Reckon on the paints and the glue as part of your own workshop stock.

FAQ

It is a ground source of electrical power that was brought up to an aircraft and fed its systems before takeoff.

Yes. It will serve in any scene in 1:350 scale where aviation service equipment belongs.

It is not. What is sold is the service unit alone; neither the aircraft nor the ship is supplied.

Thin, heavily thinned coats and a closing local wash. A heavy coat would swallow the fine shapes.
