Matt Roberts Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Thanks to Neils on Zone Five for first spotting this http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=SW-48006 4 x AGM-154 (JSOW) - First Smart Pigs (anyone else read Bear and Dragon by Tom Clancy?) in plastic 4 x AGM-84D (HARPOON) - I think first available outside of the Revell A-6E in 48th and the coming Hobbyboss Aardvark 4 x AGM-84E (SLAM) - Available in the Hobbyboss Hornets, but useful for those who build only Hasegawa kits ;p 4 x AGM-84H (SLAM-ER) - First outside of the revised Academy Strike Eagles in plastic 16 x GBU-39 (SDB) with PYLON - From how the pylon appears to be broken down I think the new Academy F-15I does have the racks, but here is a second option 4 x IRIS-T - only in RoG Typhoon so far, but more European fighters are carrying them - like my Norwegian MLU build Come on Raymond - how bout some RAF weapons for the Hobbyboss Tornado! Sky Shadow JP-233 Brit 1000lbs free fall and retarded (maybe just differing tail pieces) British LGBs CRV-7 rocket pods (I know Tornados don't carry them but Jags and Harrier IIs did) Matt Edited December 24, 2009 by Matt Roberts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST21 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Now if they could release it in 1/72 too... Probably a pipe dream. :( Come on Hasegawa, give us a new 1/72 set with all the latest pods and things that go "boom!" like the Sniper XR, LITENING, AIM-9X, GBU-32/38 JDAM, GBU-39 SDB, AGM-84 SLAM-ER, AGM-158 JASSM, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I just ordered that set from Lucky Model but they were not in stock. Question about a different set though. In the Israeli weapons set, what other israeli aircraft used these weapons besides the F-16I Sufa? Were these weapons used on the F-16D or F-16C Brakeet/Barak or on the F-4E? Thanks for any help.

twong Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks for the reply Fuji. Besides the F-15, can they all be carried on the F-16C/D? Sorry for all the questions. I have very little knowledge of Israeli weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B sin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I would like to see some 1/48th scale Russian weapons. Air to air, air to ground missile, and bombs. Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi, The F-16 Baraks don't carry the Popeye, but F-15 Baz/Ra'am do and F-4 Kurnass did. Python 4 is carried by both the F-16 and F-15. But the F-4's were gone when the Python 4's came in to service. GBU-15 are good for all, but as far as the Spice I've only seen pic of F-16's carrying them.

Pick up the new AirDoc books on the Kurnass from Linden Hill Imports and you'll find a ton of incredible photos of some of these items on IDF F-4Es! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hmmm.... good timing. I was going to start work on some SDB masters in the next few weeks. Better hearing a new product announcement *before* you scratchbuild them, rather than *after*. So Raymond, same question as the 1/72 sets.... WHEN? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dingo Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I will put my money on a 1:72 Modern RAF ordenance set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are welcome to any kind of suggestion, we will listen carefully for any product idea. For 1/72 scale, we would like to proceed but we want to examine the performance the 1/72 IDF weapon set (after delivery). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boman Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Thanks for the comment, Matt;-) Sterios, French AC weapons is available from Skyraider models, so they excist although not in plastic. I second the Russian AF option though, not much out there so far. PLease note that from the breakdown of the sprues, I believe that you can build either AGM-84D or E, not both, from one sprue. Shouldn't be a problem though as you have more than enough to go around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelman11 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yep Im wondering the same thing....... 1/72 SDB's???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Are the SDB's in operational use in Iraq or Afghanistan? Besides the F-15, which other aircraft is cleared to carry them? When were they introduced (time frame)? Thanks for any help. Terence. Found the time frame from Boeing web site. Status Production deliveries started in April 2006 and system is in full rate production Air Combat Command Commander declared initial operational capability for the SDB System on October 2, 2006--fielded ahead of schedule SDB System successfully employed in combat from F-15E Strike Eagles of the 494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron providing close-air support for ground troops operating in Iraq starting on October 5, 2006 Edited December 26, 2009 by twong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boman Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thanks for the update, Twong I have a 48FW 492FS Eagle in the pipeline, and this just gave me yet another load option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Here are pics of SDB's from the Boeing web site. Mostly pics of testing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelman11 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I would think 1 /72 nato set would sell much better than an IDF set. The 1/72 IDF set is great but many many more modellers model U.S and NATO aircraft than IDF.....I jut hope they do a 72nd NATO set and dont reflect on the numbers of IDF sets sold becaus they wouldnt reflect U.S. NATO set sales....

Boman Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Modelman The problem is the scale - not the subject. 1/72 sell less than 1/48 - period! If the powers that be allows enough sales in 1/72, you will see more releases in this scale. If not, you don't. Simple math when it all comes down to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Air to air, air to ground missile, and bombs.Brad Indeed I would have to echo the sentiments towards Russian weapons, you could make at least 2-4 different sets! I'd have to buy at least 2-3 of each myself! Rick Edited December 26, 2009 by madmanrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
