Nordkap - Can't Identify Brass Fitting

HI John
Yes models from this period do tend to have fittings possible considered basic by modern standards.
The pics are of a model belonging to Malc Vernon a fellow C&DMBC member and yes he has added a great deal of extra detail. I do have more pics so am attaching a couple for your info. Please ask if you need further help. One of the pics is the original model as first received

Live long and prosper

Nordkap - Can't Identify Brass Fitting

Thanks Dave,

It's odd that most of the models I've seen that use the brass fittings have a stumpy wooden topmast. Even yours looks like it's made of dowel. The kit is very old, maybe late 70's very early 80's and all the timber was brittle. My friend wanted to make a wooden topmast but I'll talk him into using the fitting.

Great model and great photo. There are many extras on your model that will inspire him.

Regards

John

Hi
I am attaching a photo of a Nordcap model. The main mast does have such a top piece and the small hole is for a cross piece carrying the di-pole aerials.

Nordkap - Can't Identify Brass Fitting

HI folks,

I was given a very old Nordkap kit with non laser cut timber and a separate box of expensive looking brass fittings. A friend Is building the kit for me and there's one brass part we can't Identify. It looks like It could be the mast head, but that seems to be made of wood In every photo I've ever seen. I've taken a photo and Included the lifeboat for size comparison. The drawing Is not to scale, but shows the rough shape. There's also a very small hole drilled In the tapered part.

Any clues? It's not mentioned anywhere In the drawings.
