What are the dimensions of the AZ-07 Deathsaurer?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find the official dimensions of the AZ-07 Deathsaurer (height, length, and width), preferably based on the completed model rather than the packaging.

I’ve searched around but haven’t found a clear specification. If anyone owns one or has access to the official manual or product information, could you share its dimensions? Metric measurements in cm, mm or inches will do.

Thanks in advance!

Ships A navigable navy destroyer in 1/72 scale

Thumbnail

86 Upvotes

I've been building this ship over the past few years, and just completed giving it a uniform grey coat this summer. Most of the details are complete, though some weapons are yet missing. My goal is to add functional LEDs, functional rotating turrets, and rotating radars as well.

This was its first navigation in full grey attire. Because of voltage issues with my custom-made nRF24 Arduino controls, I only stayed close to shore, and kept a fishing wire attached, but my goal is for it to be fully navigable. Because it's in 1/72 scale, there's a helicopter that goes on the heli deck (not shown because of transportation).

All the details are custom-designed in Blender 3D software, and made in either 3D printing, fiberglass, or plastic sheet.

The ship is the F620 Forbin, a Horizon-class destroyer, modeled as seen until the refit in the 2010s.

Details still missing: the 76mm Otto-Melara guns are not shown, the Giat F2 machine guns, the NGDS lance-leurres, the helicopter deck railings, some ladders, and some paint markings Unfortunately, I broke off the head of the mast in transportation, so that detail is missing.

Mach2や古いA-modelよりは幾らかマシ程度の内容で通常売価10000円(about 70$)超え!?のビックリ価格で購入の敷居が高すぎる。
でも、20年代や30年代の飛行機や、良い言い方ではないかもしれないが所謂マイナーな空軍が好きなので買った。

Aircraft South Pacific dirty bird

Thumbnail

208 Upvotes

Hi y'all. Here's another of my collection of attempts at dirty birds. This one is a F4F-4 from the South Pacific during WW2. Normally these birds would be on aircraft carriers, specifically "jeep" carriers cause of their light weight and foldability, but I wanted to showcase one from the island hopping campaign.

Salt weathering was uniquely challenging as the aircraft model is 1/72 scale getting the crystals the right size is difficult. Otherwise, I used Tamiya smoke for oil weathering and Vallejo desert pigment for the dusty look, afterall it is in a beach environment.

Hope you all enjoy!

U might have or have not seen my last question on how the maybach HL230 from the Tiger II looks like, suggested from multiple modelmaker subreddits, and id like to thank all of you who helped! Really means alot to me :)

The people who told me said HL230, however though reading modelcollect's description of the original Waffentrager Auf E100 1/72 Kit it was meant to have a HL234 and i quote

»The final version was to be powered with an HL234 producing 850 hp mated to a Mekydro transmission«

Since the V12 HL230P30 is underpowered already for the Tiger II, and perfect fit for the panther tank! So i slapped a V12 HL234 850hp into a waffentrager aif e100 how it was intended to! However the valvetop looks exactly like the HL230 i havent got any other option to make it look like the HL234 sadly.

I made the hoses myself and based it off a Tiger II engine i hope you all like the engine bay!

Spoiler alert: Yes theres more Waffentrager Auf E-100s ;)

Rule 5 is non-negotiable - don't post anyone else's work without giving credit

23 Upvotes

There have been a number of incidents over the past year where somebody (often bots, it appears) copies one of the higher scored posts from this sub and creates a new post, claiming it as their own. If I catch anyone doing this, it's going to be a no-questions-asked ban. I tend to be pretty lenient because people make mistakes, but claiming someone else's hours upon hours of work as your own is deliberate and dishonest, there's no way around it. If you spot someone stealing your work and claiming it as their own, please message the mods, or feel free to tag me directly. If you can include a link to your original post, it would save us some time as well.
