swimmer25k Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've started clipping sprue on the Skunkmodels 1/48 catapult kit. I've got a few US Navy kits, but they don't seem to have the parts to hook up to a catapult. Are any of you aware of such kits? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BN7149 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm currently building a Hasegawa 1/48 F/A-18C that has the catapult hook on the nose gear positionable for launch. The rest of the flaps, slats, and stabilizers can all be positioned in the launch configuration, too. I don't have any of their other Hornet or Super Hornet kits, but I would imagine that the design is similar among the other variants they've produced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spook498 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The launch bar on the Hasegawa Tomcat and Hornet kits are positionable. About the only thing you would need is the hold back, which isn't in any aircraft kit that I know of, but you can easily scratchbuild one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomcatfan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 On the Hase Super Hornet there is a little bit of cutting and scratching involved. It comes with the launch bar in up position only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The Hasegawa Royal Navy F-4 has the extended nosegear leg that was unique to that variant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
