    Mirage 2000 seated NOSA by Reedoak

    in Jet Modeling

    Posted

    I received my Mirage 2000 crew two days ago. What can I say? I've never seen anything like these Reedoak

    figures - they are just perfect and well worth the money.  And I'd say two perfect pilots in an average kit

    cockpit can make a lot of difference. So I'm in for more of Norbert's work!!!

    SUU-23/A gun pod on F-4Cs

    in Research Corner

    Posted

    I have a question or two on the SUU-23 gun pod on use with ANG F-4Cs:

     

    Were these ever in use with ANG units, and if yes, what additional weapons except external fuel tanks would be carried?

    If they were used, were they just carried on the center pylon or could they be carried in pairs (one under each wing)?

     

    I may be wrong, but I vaguely remember seeing these being carried in pairs, however, don't remember if those were

    -Cs or -Ds. Any help is greatly appreciated, I've started a Tamiya F-4C which I plan to do in either Michigan or Oregon ANG

    markings. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    CD48162 - 1/48 F-4 "Edwards Test Phantoms"

    CD48162 will be a 1/48 sheet dedicated to the F-4 Phantoms operated by AFTTC at Edwards AFB over the years. Aircraft in both the white/red "Bozo" scheme and the SEA wraparound/white wing ALCM chase scheme are covered; including F-4D, NF-4E, RF-4C and a few interesting markings.  I thought this sheet and the upcoming Navy QF-4B sheet would be a neat pair.

     

     

    The decal sheet is done (thumbnail's up at the Web site); but not the profiles - I plan to complete the profiles soon and share them here. This one is coming in the next batch of releases, and will be scaled down to 1/72 scale soon afterwards.

    Will these be available from Hannants? With the upcoming ZM F-4E this would be my dream version to build.

    I think Germany has the least capable airforce of all Europe and NATO. Knowing the leaders of the MOD and other politicans

    I'm afraid we will degrade into an almost none existent status. The problems by the MOD acquiring enough and decent supplies 

    of boots for the soldiers speak for themselves. Corona will do the rest.
