I bought some M60 bridging, some gepards and some tracked Rapiers. I think I've stuck them together properly but I have bits left over!

Gepard - hull, turret base, turret barrels.
rapier - hull, missile turret at rear
M60 - hull, two piece bridge unit.

I still have 4 small, what look like parallel tubes / bars joined at one end (u shape) about 5mm long. The other has metal joining it but it looks like part of the casting process. Cannot see where this might fit in.... Anywhere...

Any ideas?

Count if you go into H&R gallery and look at the modern british they have a rapier there.
Don't know when the other moulds were made but they have new in 2012/13 and 14 I think so the Gerard might be in their or if you e mail andy he normally gets back to you in a day or so.

These are the bits-

Those u shaped pieces look like the radar unit from the tracked rapier model. They sit in front of the missile turret.

I can't see where though? Any pics?

The other two 'bits' (in the photo) are the radar array base & twin-auto cannons for the Gepard.
Stick the twin barreled gun bit on top of the round (bottom left) radar array & then the whole lot goes on top of the Gepard hull (top).

No idea about the other 4 bits ... sorry

Steve, any pics of the radar arrays in place on the tracked rapier. I've never bothered to fit them, but would be interesting to see where they go.

Cheers, Andy

Remind me for Thursday, I'll bring one along.

If it's definitely part of the Rapier then I can get on with painting my Belgian stuff!

Will do, it appears to be missing off the model in the H&R gallery.

Found these if they are any help? Check out the link at the bottom

I think the bits I have go with the tracked Rapier?

Presumably they are the bits sticking up one the back of this example. They normally seem to be folded down in most examples.

Cheers, Andy

Ahhhh...

That's yhe ticket.

Sorted

Of course getting them to fit to the model like that is another matter altogether...

Don't superglue your fingers together

He already did, that's why he hasn't replied ...

I have other things I can type with...

Ooooh, errrr, that sounds worrying

If you look at some google images after searching tracked rapier, you should see quite a few with that frame & radar dish in a horizontal (presumably stowed) position. It looks like it will probably be easier to attach that way. Prime Portal (primeportal.net) also has a full walkaround so you can see it in more detail if needed.

im certain the bit on the ground mounted rapier last photo on mad axe and post is the
Firers position where he looks into the Radar.
You can just see him hunched over at the front of it. But not painted as a soldier but as a piece of the kit.

You can see it more clearly here at the bottom of the page.

I've just assembled three tracked Rapiers, this time with the little tuning fork structures. They actually fit quite well, but suspect they are going to get flattened during play/storage.

Cheers, Andy

Have you got a pic?

A couple more on the blog.
