poibrudda05 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Aloha again everyone!!!! So I'm well along on the main weapons bay of my Hasegawa 1/48th scale F-22 and remembered from the Academy one I have that their kit included trapeze type arms for the AIM-20C's. Does anyone know if they lower these arms to help the ground crew with "installing" the AIM's or are these actuators lowered purely when launching missiles? Furthermore does anyone have any pictures of these arms when lowered? For the life of me I kind find them. Unless they are classified ;) Thank you in advance!!!!

Bad Turbine Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think the arms sorta sling them out while the motor gets up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B52gunner Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hey! I too am in the painting phase of my F-22 Hasegawa 1/48 scale model! It's a great kit. I also ordered the photo etched parts that had the seat/parachute straps as well as the vectored exhaust nozzles. As for launcher pics, I just Bing'd F-22 Raptor Missile Launcher and got quite a few good pics of missiles being loaded. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=f-22+raptor+missile+launcher&FORM=IQFRBA&id=7AEEBA22FC33D1E4C00DF1BC31E938EC441B1783&selectedIndex=1#view=detail&id=7AEEBA22FC33D1E4C00DF1BC31E938EC441B1783&selectedIndex=0 Aloha again everyone!!!!
