Classifieds / Fabricator sought for 1:1 scale mockup for MSPO Defence Exhibition. [14]
No problem, I understand. It's quite interesting to me how this works, and what use the manufacturer believes he extracts from it. I've brought my little nephew to some defense expos (last day, open to public), and he naturally would gravitate to the scaled down submarines and jet-fighters. For the 1:1 mock-ups of missile systems he would attempt to of course climb on top :)) Speaking for myself, the model didn't matter at all. The procurement contract usually specifies very exact specs demanded from the hardware, and so it was the little brochures which mattered most (and of course, price). But certainly, the models made for great photos)
I always thought the manufacturer's performed the work in-house. I'm not certain what it's called in English, but in Russian there is a term, «массо-габаритная модель», or "mass-dimensions model" which is used on the carrying platform during trials to evaluate how the hardware would affect aerodynamics, the security of the points of fixation, etc. I figured that something similar is what was brought to shows since presumably it would already be on hand.
I know that in your case you are looking for small local manufacturers (good on you!), but is this something that the companies that design and fabricate booths for trade shows usually would do?
Apologies for the double post. Is the English term for what I mentioned above, simply "Dummy"? Thanks!
