speedlimit Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I tried to check and see if there is anything in plastic or resin of this F-4 Cargo/ Travel pod. Any thoughts? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/JASDF_F-4EJ_Travel_Pod_in_Komaki_Air_Base_20130223.JPG Cheers, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I have one from a company called Ronsresins. It's catalog number 01072. It has a copyright of 1995 on the package. It also says the travel pods were made uot of BLU-1/27 firebombs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 All of the Hasegawa 1/48 F-16s (at least the early ones) had a travel pod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-basset Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I concur with Jennings. Hasegawa 1/48 F-16's include a travel pod on sprue 'F', which is the sprue with the drop tanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I checked the one in my hase 1/48 F-16 and its not the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I did only see it from a JASDF RF-4E. Maybe its only used by the japanese. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 indeed it looks like a JASDF thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 I read somewhere that its actually the wingtip of the F-104 modified to be a travel pod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is this a travel pod with flags hanging down or a E.C.M. pod? Here's a travel pod: Personally, I'd like to see one come out for the F-106. It wasn't called a coffin for nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CF104 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I read somewhere that its actually the wingtip of the F-104 modified to be a travel pod. Looks like it's a modified F-104J pylon tank. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
