DMunne Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Gentlemen, I'm getting ready to start building Revell's massive 1/48th scale B-1B. I've been collecting aftermarket for it for a few years now, but one piece has eluded me.....the Shawn Hull B-1 Sniper pod and pylon. Thanks to Brassin', I have the pod itself but I need a pylon to hang it off of. While searching the web I ran into someone saying that the B-1 uses the same pylon as the F-15E for carrying the Sniper. I haven't been able to confirm this anywhere else. Is this true? If so that makes this project a go! Sincerely, Dave PS If anyone has a SHULL24 B-1 Sniper pod pylon (or a reasonable facsimile) for sale, please let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 The pylon is unique to the B-1B, if I understand it is a repurposed version of the proposed external cruise missile carriage pylon. It is much wider and has a very different shape when compared to the F-15 Sniper pylon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 We also need it in1/72. Barracuda said he is considering it. I asked on his facebook. Maybe if more people ask he will go ahead and produce. It makes sense to make it to go with all his B-1 updates in both scales. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I would definitely buy one if Barracuda offered one in 1/48! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoFo Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Any good references out there? Schematics/measured drawings? Or at least, relatively unskewed front view/side view/rear view photos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Save the time just do the pylon and buy the Eduard brassen sniper pod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've got the Cutting Edge burner cans and the recently released Barracuda intakes and ALE-50 parts. Thinking about getting the wheels too. I supplied the pictures for "Seek and Destroy" for the 2 Bobs decal sheet but can't seem to find them now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
