loftycomfort Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 If it's in the Academy F-16 kit, then I have extra's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 If it's in the Academy F-16 kit, then I have extra's. Thx Terry! This is what the BRU-57 looks like: http://www.2w1.org/2W1/images/IRAQ_Sep07_Feb08/Skuller/014a_Skuller.jpg I will be needing one of them. That said, I also need one of these which I am pretty certain is in the Academy kit: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/images/ter-1999405italy.jpg Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delayar Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi! I know this is an older thread, but is there a BRU-57 in 1/32 available in the meantime? Or is still the only option looking for a BRU-55 of the Academy Hornet and adapt it? Regards, Markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 There is no BRU-55 in an Academy Hornet. The racks in that kit are BRU-33/A VERs, which in real life is the rack that was converted to the BRU-57. BRU-55 are converted from the BRU-33A/A CVER, which is slightly wider and has the ejectors canted outboard for additional weapon-to-weapon clearance. Externally, to get to a BRU-57 from a VER, there are some detail difference in the actual ejector units and the sway braces are different on the Air Force rack, plus the umbilical brackets at the rear on each side of the aft fairing need to be added.

delayar Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ah, mixed them up. So no BRU-57 in 1/32? Markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Not that I know of, but there may be something out there. I don't follow the 1/32 jet market very closely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hello Markus, Apologies for the confusion, I asked about the CVER and F-16-style TER in the same post. You can get the F-16-style TER in the Academy F-16 kit. There is still no CVER available in 1/32 afaik. Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
