Robb Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Hey Crusader-buff's Is there a way to fix the wrong sidewinder @& zuni launchers in the 1/32 trumpeter kit? Planning to build it with 4 zuni's duo packs but I don't like the wrong view of the Y-racks Hope you van help me! Rob Edited March 23, 2013 by Robb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looks like a little scratch building will have to be done. Look HERE for a few line drawings, the bottom mount needs to be extended downward to be parallel to the ground, and the upper mount location moved to be 45 degrees off the shoulder. Best I can offer.

Dan Diego Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I saw the same problem. Thought about it a lot. My solution...scratchbuild a single launcher rail. Works for me. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You could always leave the rails off: there was another pic i seen on Flickr of an F-8 with a Y rack on one side and a single rail on the other. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superheat Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Robb, The right one (C-5) is more or less correct, so that one can be used as is, leaving you to modify the left one or scratch build a replacement. Here is a ph0to that may help. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

f4h1phantom Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Here is the pic of Y rack on one side with a single rail on the other: Jari THAT configuration is something I never thought possible.
