dark light

Boulton Paul Type C dorsal turret

hi guys,

after the superb responce i got concerning the hudson door, i am hoping you can do the same again:D
i am in the middle of doing the turret for the hudson, but my sources are conflicting, sitting in the gunners seat, which side of the turret do’s the siting arm come from? also the linking bars are a bit confusing.

the one nearly horizontal is the siting bar link, one of the others is the stabiliser (connects to the turret frame) the other one i am not sure of.

any help in this matter would be most welcome.

hi guys,
a little update, i now know which gunsight to use and what it looks like, but i still don’t know about theses bars.

i think the red line linking the top and bottom is correct, you will note on my previous drawing i have the ram connected to a rigid point (silly me) what is bar 1, and 2 and what connects to 3.

james,

your in trouble, i searched this site and found a photo of the gun sight, it was yours;)
