alrite Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi eveyone, In process of building Revell's 1:72 jaguar GR1. Whats the max loadouts possible? And how they can be arranged. If anyone has any pictures, that would be top notch. :blink: Also planning to build Revell's 1;72 tornado GR1. After a bit of research I have decided I want to load the beast with the WE.177 nuclear bomb. :D Has anyone got any pictures of the bomb loaded on the aircraft? I'm thinking of scratch building 2 from the simple 500lb bombs found in the airfix tornado kit. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Will. :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattC Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) These might help with the scratch build... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...profile_png.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...profile_png.png http://www.skomer.u-net.com/projects/images/we177.jpg And I found these: http://www.wingweb.co.uk/img/aircraft/RAF_...guar_stores.jpg http://www.rafmarham.co.uk/organisation/2s...ine/jaguarx.jpg Cheers Matt Edited September 21, 2007 by MattC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi alrite, Welcome to ARC! The web site www.airliners.net is always a great resource for photos. I think there are a ton of Tornado photos there, so allow yourself a lot of time for browsing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smeders Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Max load for a Jag would be :- 1 x 1000lb bomb on each outboard station. 2 x 1000lb bomb on tandem beam on both inboard station. 2 x 1000lb bomb on cenetrline. So thats 8000lb of bombs, mind you the jet wouldn't go very far with that little lot !! As for the mighty Fin, WE177 on station 7 or 8. 1500ltr or 2250ltr tanks on each inboard Stn 3 & 4. BOZ pod on Port outboard, Stn 2. ECM on Stbd outboard, Stn 1. HTH Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Fleming Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Pics of We177 on Tornados are rare (Anyone got one of one on a Sea harrier?) - can't remember where this one came from - note it is a drill round. I have a pic somewhere of a 17 Sqn one carrying a drill Here's the bomb - there is also one at the RAF Museum http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v20/jinx...tomicMuseum.jpg Edited September 22, 2007 by Dave Fleming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alrite Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Thanks for all the help guys Dave the pictures of the WE.177 loaded are very rare, lol, I have not found any and have been searching for ages. From the picture the bomb does look pretty small, so ill see what I can do to make it. For the jag, I'm thinking of possibly making a recce "Snow Cat", and another with the full 1000lb bomb loadout, should be fun :D cheers, will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hatchet Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) I scratch-built these: I used the 19-shot rocket pods from one of Hase's 1/72 weapons sets and the fins came from the 1000lb'ers in RoGs Tornado GR.1 kit.

I also found a drawing somewhere with a rear-view of the fins with dimensions.Eventually, they'll be going on a mid-80's 14sqd bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finn Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 What is the diameter of the We.177? The drawing only gives 8" for the back end but what is the dia of the body. Thanks. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks.Jari Diameter is 16.5in and the wingspan (finspan? :blink: ) is 23.5in according to my sources, which is very close, in 1/72, to the dia of a Hase 19-shot rocket pod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
