Replacement supports of the anti-aircraft vehicle Morris C9/B in the traveling position, 1:35 scale. Resin parts for building the vehicle on the move, with the arms of the supports folded and secured.
Responsibility details are not available.
The British Morris C9/B carried a 40 mm Bofors gun on a truck chassis. So that the weapon would not rock the whole vehicle when firing, the crew lowered four supports to the ground. Before the vehicle drove off, however, it had to raise them again, fold them against the sides and secure them, and it is exactly this state that the set reproduces.
A detail a layman does not notice but a modeler does: a vehicle in motion with the supports folded looks different from a machine ready to fire. Anyone building a column on the move needs the arms lying against the frame; anyone building a battery position will reach for the variant with the supports extended. The set deals with the first of the two situations. The difference is most apparent from behind and from the side, that is from the angles a finished model is usually photographed from.
The parts are cut off the casting blocks with a fine-toothed saw; breaking would snap the thin sections. Before gluing it is good to offer the arms up dry and to check that they follow the shape of the side panel. Securing the joints with super glue and a thin layer of adhesive filler is recommended. Once it has dried it pays off to check the joint once more against the light, to see whether a gap has been left between the arm and the frame. Paints are not enclosed; the shade is chosen according to the coat of paint of the whole vehicle.
