FuMO22 PE assembly

Post by softsea »

Hi all

I recently bought the detailing PE set for the Heller Lützow and I’m having a doubt on the assembly of the FuMO22 radar.

Is the back side grill (antenna screen) assembled upon the rear framework and the antenna framework upon the back side grill, is it the other way around or is the screen to be discarded when using the frame with the transmetter/receivers?

I tried emailing Tom but I have yet received no reply.
Can someone help.

Thanks

Ciao Joao and all,

I am really not getting clearly enough your question my friend.

Can you explain me your doubts a little more.

I have the TOM's PE set lof Heller Lutzow, and mostly I have all the drawings and the infos/photos on the FuMo 22 radar set of the main tower top rangefinder of Lutzow.

I think I can help you again my friend :D .


Ciao Antonio :D

Hi Antonio

bellow is a drawing of Tom's instructions

I know that 1 (rear framework) is glued to the plastic structure in the kit.
My doubt is if the antenna framework (2) is glued in front of 1 and then the antenna screen (3) glued to the antenna framework (2) with the receivers (4) glued on top of 3.
The assembly order would be as showned by the drawing - 1, 2, 3, 4.

Hope I'm clearer now.

Thanks again

Lutzow Radar

Post by Antonio Bonomi »

Ciao Joao and all,

OK I see it now, thanks.

I will be sending you by e-mail the instructions for the FuMo 22 radar set of Scharnhorst by TOM' s modelwork.

It shows how to assembly the radar FuMo 22 ( common between Scharnhorst and Lutzow ), with frame ( your 1 ), the back grill ( your 3 ), the face grill ( your 2 ) and the dipoles to be bent ( your 4 ) and glued on top of 2.

I have some close photos of Scharnhorst and Gneisenau FuMo 22 radar set so I can support you with those as well.

Hope this will fit your needs my friend, they are on the way to you now.

Maybe this can help you too to see the Radar frames, ....

Hi Antonio and all

I got the photos alright. I'll assemble the radar as you told me, because the frame is always clearly visible and would probably not be seen if glued behind the antenna screen.

I also hope to post some better quality photos on my site after Xmas.

Many thanks
João Rodrigues
