Launcher tubes with guide (something like rifled barrel)

And PE parts to replace plastic guides. 
 

Album image #16
One side is ok but... 
 

Album image #17
...guide on the other doesn't look good 
 

Album image #18
There is a lot of guides to remove to replace with PE. 
 

Album image #19
Is it worth is as only some will be visible. 
 

Album image #20
Turntable complete. It has option to rotate and elevate so will have the opportunity to adjust launcher after painting. 
 

Album image #21
I found brass tubes with a diameter only a little bit smaller then plastic (0,1-0,15mm) so I will try to build launcher from brass. 
 

Album image #22
Pipes from front segment have been cut. I will connect them with middle and rear section with another smaller tube. 
 

Album image #23
Tubes have been cut to size. Next smaller tubes will be cut and inserted to help join tubes together. 
 

Album image #24
Rainforced plates will be glued with kits U shaped parts, filled with CA glue and then holes will be drilled to assembly all. 
 

Album image #25
Blueprint of connection. 
 

Album image #26
Time for hole drilling, first small, then few different bigger sizes. 
 

Album image #27
From left: Outer tube with smaller parts, to right: with tube two sizes smaller which will fir drilled holes. 
 

Album image #28
This is how it will look.

As well as front and rear "caps".

Dryfit to launcher base. 
 

Album image #36
Phew! Launcher dryfitted to frame stays on it's place. I was worry how it will behave with all that weight, but looks promising.

Uragan vs grad launchers 
 

Album image #41
Uragan resin wheels from miniarm - not too good. Rims too small diameter but too thick. Do not fit to frame. Not satisfied.

Same for me, I'm in as well. Didn't even know this was released.

Interesting. Going to pull up a chair and watch.

Thank you very much Ingo and Dan.
Welcome to the jungle Bryn.

Some minor progress...
And no issues so far.

First issue, well maybe not issue but small riddle. Launcher tubes have small guides on each tube, but Trumpeter provided also some PE parts to replace them. It is even provided in manual to remove plastic guides and replace with PE.
Problem is that access to the tubes is not easy and it will be really hard to remove them properly. On the other hand, one side of launcher looks good with plastic guides but other is nasty. You will have to decide which way go. There is no good solution - both will leave with some imperfections.

I'm in and good luck with the experiment. Hope it will work out as you think.
17 August 2017, 11:16
Przemek Przybulewski
Thank you Bart. Me too. As of now I have all tubes prepared. Now I will cut some smaller in diamater tubes, glue them inside and cut another tubes (smaller by 2 sizes) as a join parts. All of this is needed as tubes are too big to fit into reinforced plates. So I thought that I will drill smaller holes, fit smaller tubes and then join properly all the launcher parts. Something like last picture/drawing.
I will have to use biggest tubes for launcher, medium just to decrease the diameter and small to join all together.

As always love your work

Hope im not too late, im jumping on!
Awesome work so far mate, ita making me want to start my SMERCH.
Thanks

Thanks Spanjaard and Rhys.

Alexander Grivonev
This thing must weight a ton! Fantastic work, i might do something similar on my "Smerch" because the kit parts have the same "elegant" solution for the launchers with two halves resulting in a beautiful seam across the whole thing and the guiding rods (times 12)....
9 September 2017, 08:40
Przemek Przybulewski
Thank you Alexander. I have to say its heavy, even very heavy. It might look better but I still wonder if frame of the vehicle will support such big amount of additional weight.
9 September 2017, 17:48
Alexander Grivonev
looks like it was worth the effort! Now you have smooth barrels with some nice PE detail...i like it!
11 September 2017, 16:16
Przemek Przybulewski
Thanks. I think it's worth but it costs me a lot of work. 😉
12 September 2017, 12:04
Bart Goesaert
Maybe it was a lot of work, but it is also a splendid result...

looking excellent, I'm in too 👍

Przemek Przybulewski
Thanks - slowly but progressing.
I found my inspiration for base so now it's time to change idea into reality.

The use of the brass tubes makes it look so much better.

I detect a theme, have NBN seen your Smerch, Wheeled MLRS. Very Nice. Any others planned, perhaps tracked with a TOS-1
2 May 2019, 20:53
Przemek Przybulewski
Bryn - it was very time consuming task, I'm glad that you like it.
Scitt - I have a TOS in my stash, I just do not have idea for base.

I fully agree with Scott and Spanjaard.

Nice and dusty... is there something with the passenger door from the uragan?
17 January 2020, 09:59
Przemek Przybulewski
Thank you Spanjaard, Scott, Neuling.

You have good eyes Bart, I'll fix it - thanks for pointing that out.
