1/72 Fw190A-4/U8 droptanks

Hi guys,

 

I am trying to build an Fw190A-4/U8 in 1/72. I already have the FW190A-4, but I have a lot of trouble finding the underwing pylons.
Can anybody point in me the directions of a source for the underwing pylons (VTr-Ju 87 ) ?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

I've got the tanks in 1/48th and 1/32 scale, but like you I can't find the hard points. Story goes that they never were a production item, and only used on prototype G series aircraft. How true this is I don't know for sure, but have yet to see a single airframe using them that was not a prototype. I might add here that the hard points came from JU87's or maybe ME110's (think it was the JU87). Was sorta hoping to see Airfix do them with their kits, but without opening the bags; I don't see them.

That might be true, Gary, but this is the plane I got the decals for and it clearly has the hardpoints
