Hi, Can anyone please help with any of the following issues? 1) I'd like to get hold of additional AIM-7E Sparrow missiles (the early versions used by F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam) in 1/48 scale? Hassegawa's Weapons Set C contains what seem to be very decent Sparrows, but they are the F models (as used by post-Vietnam aircraft such as the F-14 Tomcat). So far the only place I've been able to locate reasonably decent E-model Sparrows is in Hassegawa's range of Phantom II kits. As the E's are nearly identical (except for some relatively minor detailing) to the BAE Skyflash missiles used on the Tor

Hello all! I'm continuing to seek out accessory parts for aircraft. I am particularly interested to know if there are any AN/AAQ-13 and AN/AAQ-14 pod kits available in 1/48 scale - except for those in Hassegawa Weapons Set D - ? I know the -13 is available in the Academy F-14A Bombcat and the Avionix/Black Box F-14B Deluxe Set, but are there any other options? And what about the -14? Also, does anyone know if the AN/AAQ-28 Litening pod is available anywhere (again in 1/48)? Thanks for any tips. Cheers!

Calling all F-14 Tomcat fans! Regarding the Avionix/Black Box F-14B Bombcat set for the Hasegawa kit, does anyone know whether it can be inserted into the F-14A model to create an F-14B interior (with exterior ammendments following on as necessary)? I ask because depending when you shop around the B kit seems to be available sometimes, and not at others. Alternatively, can it be used in the Academy F-14A Bombcat kit? Incase you're wondering, I'm not totally mad, I'm just investigating options. lol Happy kit-building guys! :-)

I have a pair of those too. Am just waiting for a suitable project to use them on - maybe an OIF or OEF F-16 or F/A-18? Any suggestions?

Sorry, meant to add, I'm working in 1/48 scale.

Hi there, I am planning to build a range of US Aggressor aircraft - Air Force and Navy/Marine Corps. However, I have a potential problem. I currently have 2 AN/APX-95 pods available from the Hassegawa Weapons Set D, but would need some more (possibly as many as 6 or 7). While I know I could simply buy more weapon set Ds, this would potentially leave me with an excessive number of additional weapons - mainly GBUs. Basically, I would like to know if anyone knows of a manafacturer that produces these pods individually, or if there is another way to aquire more of these pods without ending up wit
