Gripen39 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hello All, Is it possible to convert say a Hasegawa 1/72 Lantirn pod into a Damocles targeting pod as used on a French Rafale? They seem to be approx. the same size/dimensions. I want to add it to one of my kits. Any Ideas? Also what would be the best color to paint the Rafale, taking into account scale effect? Thanks in advance, JA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platycqb Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 You would have to modify the air intake drastically. And the Damocles pod has an increased diameter before the opto-electronic turret. Worst case, it's avalaible from L'Arsenal (in France). http://www.larsenal.com/1-72-multi-function-damocles-targeting-pod-for-super-etendard-c2x15951029 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gripen39 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thank you for the advice. I'll probably go with L'Arsenal JA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible? Anything is possible! You *could* convert a Spitfire into a Damocles pod :) Might not be easy, but certainly possible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
