ChernayaAkula Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Just found this over on Flugzeugforum, where user -dako- posted it. French Weapon Set I in 1/48 by Skunkmodel Workshop - CLICK Said to include: 2 x AUF-2 DUAL-BOMB Pylon (for Mirage 2000 and Mirage F1) 4 x GBU-12 4 x ASSM 8 x MICA (Infra/Radar Guide) 2 x Export version Mirage 2000 Fuel Tank Yay! Cool to see a dedicated French weapons set. The pic has me wondering, though. The GBU-12s flanking the AASMs seem to have a GBU-22 guidance kit on the front, but tailfins like the GBU-12, whereas the tailfins on a GBU-22 (if they were meant to be those) should look more like the GBU-24's, with the fins off-set from the centre line. And maybe it's the pic (or my eyes :lol:), but to my eyes, the AASM's fins look a tad short. Edited August 6, 2011 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boman Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Cool - was waiting for something like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Barr Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 That is really good news and will pick up a set; now if they do them in 1/72 I will be ecstatic and pick up several sets. Regards Jim Barr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waylandcool Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Very interesting, Everyone with Rafales and Mirage 2000's in the stash will be very happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Now if they would do a modern British weapons set in 1/48. I need some British LGBs for my Op Telic Harrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gremlin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 please Skunk, the same Set in 1/72!!! cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Rather than GBU-12s, i hope they go with the GBU's shown here: https://picasaweb.google.com/109915371251354495235/RafaleLibyanCampaign?authuser=0&feat=directlink#5615981125375748882 Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas C. Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's hard to tell from the box art on Lucky's site if the GBU-22's fins are correctly offset or not. I hope they are, as this set is the first that would include 22s in plastic. I'm now crossing my fingers for a 1/72 scale set! In any case, here's an earlier thread I kicked off a couple of years ago about GBU-22s with some reference pictures. If the Skunworks kit is incorrect, here's hoping they can fix any future 1/72 versions! Old GBU-22 thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hopefully the instructions won't say to paint the seeker head of the GBU-22 blue, indicating inert, with a live warhead. Trumpeter makes some 1/32 GBU-22s but they look to have the GBU-12 tail as well. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Isn't the F-16 carrying a mica as well...or am I mistaken? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Isn't the F-16 carrying a mica as well...or am I mistaken? Looks like IRIS-T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Dave's correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bungynik Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 IRIS-T indeed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Got it....that being said...and not wanting to hi-jack the tread...where can I get a decent version of the IRIS-T in 1/48? I only have the Italeri Gripen kits...(don't have them handy) so wondering if they contain the IRIS-T? If not...what aftermarket sources are there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 A pair of IRIS-T are in the 1/48 Revell Eurofighter Typhoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caiotfjr Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 A pair of IRIS-T are in the 1/48 Revell Eurofighter Typhoon. Besides the Eurofighter kit, there are 4 IRIS-T in Skunkmodels NATO weapons set (SW-48006) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrvark Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Now if they would do a modern British weapons set in 1/48. I need some British LGBs for my Op Telic Harrier. Like these? (select Cataloge, then AC48-33 Paveway IV) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Paveway IV wasn't used by RAF harriers during Telic.The Paveway II and Paveway II (enhanced) were carried then. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
