The boys at JME have manufactured and installed 4 x 20 mm cannon barrels on the Omaka based 190. Looking for some fairing drawings for the mock up ETC 501 drop tank rack.

Looks spectacular! And I do love the flock of Nanchangs behind!

So, I don't suppose it will fire blanks, like Liz and Frank's P-40?

That would be an unbeatable act at an Airshow....

Looks good.

Of course FHC have a complete ETC501 bomb rack and all the fairings. I might have some photos of the original shrouds/covers etc so can probably send these through to you.

regards

Mark

Dave - barrels only- no guns unfortunately.

Mark- that would be good thanks, I actually got the barrel measurements from FHC, but neglected to ask re the ETC fairings. Will see what you come up with first..

Dave, This is a bit off this particular topic but I want to say the photos of the Mosquito in flight in Classic Wings is stunning! Keep up the good work.

Pat, pleased you enjoyed them. I agree there are a number of stunners there, Gavin has done us proud.

There is a tentative link to CW in this thread- if you look above the first Nanchang, you will see our office window, and the Chariots of Fire Fighter Collection, to which the 190 belongs, is managed from there also ;-)
