In Reply to: Funnel pipes posted by Loren Perry on May 31, 1998 at 00:27:59:
: While installing my model's funnel pipes, I noticed
: that the Minicraft kit seems to provide too many cooling
: pipe assemblies. If I'm interpreting the photos of the
: real ship correctly as well as Ken Marschall's
: paintings, the funnel pipes should be as follows:
: No. 1 funnel: Two pipe assemblies on the right side,
: none on the left.
: No. 2 funnel: No pipes at all.
: No. 3 funnel: Two large multi-pipe assemblies on the
: left rear and right rear. None on the front.
: No. 4 funnel: One pipe on the right rear.
: All pipes in the kit labeled C10 are therefore omitted.
: A simple fix.
: Anyone out there differ? Please advise.
Loren:
I differ and so does Ken Marschall in one respect:
#1 funnel has 3 pipe assemblies; two on the right as you indicate and one on the left very close to the forward centerline steam vent but just to port of it. See Marschall's painting on pages 10 and 11 of Titanic: An Illustrated History. This pipe configuration is almost identical to the one on funnel #4.
