Mark Aldrich Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Below is a picture of the new Tamiya/Italeri maintenance set release. I am building this for the BoB group build. However, I think part B48 is a form of winch and needs more detail. As it is WWII I assume this is a hand winch. Does anyone have pictures or know of what detail needs to be added? TIA.

LesWalden Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Mark, Don't have a picture, but from the looks of it, it would be some sort of gear reduction thing with a chain hanging from the bigger end and another chain with a hook hanging from the other end. It's probably a gear reduction type thing with a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
802chrisg Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Mark, This looks like a chain pull winch. The type used to lift heavey objects. I could be way off base, but I think that I am in the ballpark. Looks like you will need to add the chain an hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
802chrisg Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Mark, Did some checking, this is a chain fall hoist.

JohnRatzenberger Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Mark, A good ol' chain hoist. A small chain loop drives the gearing that either raises or lowers the larger chain/hook. Here's the one I did for my HST .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
