ReccePhreak Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Are there any aftermarket 1/48 AIM-9P or AIM-9N Sidewinders? How about any kits I could scrounge a few from? A Google search didn't turn up anything. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gb_madcat_sl Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) I am not sure what an AIM-9N is but you can find AIM-9Ps in the Academy Phantom and AFV Club F-5 kits. They are also available in Hasegawa's Weapon Set B and the new Meng Short-Range AAM set. Mark Edited October 16, 2017 by gb_madcat_sl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It includes what are described as 4 AIM-9N/Ps, which I assume means they can be done as either? FWIW, Meng has also issued sets of mediun-long range missiles and guided bombs.

dnl42 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Meng claims they're 9N or 9P. They don't show any external differences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 There shouldn't be anything you'd see in 48th for differences... The Kinetic F-5 kits have them as well I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And they don't have any N or P model Sidewinders. The closest they have is the AIM-9J. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As nice as they look, I can't justify ~ $20.00 for the set when I only need 2 Sidewinders. I guess I will put a post on the Spare Parts forum, to see if anybody can spare a couple from that set or from one of the AFV F-5 kits. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen a photo of 154404 (TA-7C) in Hellenic (Greek) AF carrying a Papa but one could more frequently notice the -M as well as the -N/P versions on Greek A-7Es.

Niels Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 AIM-9J/N/P all share the same design and dimensions. So any -J will work as N or P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
