Does anyone make a 1/48 LAU-131 rocket pod for the A-10?


Recommended Posts

LAU-131? 
Not familiar with that rocket pod - could it be LAU-68 (7 shot) or LAU-3/5003 (19 shot) you mean? 

 

FWIW - there is a jammer pod called ALQ-131, could it be a mix of designations?

Here's a link to info on LAU-131 rocket pod. Similar to the LAU-68 but shorter.

Did some more searching. Attack Squadron made one. Unfortunately, they left the aftermarket accessory business so it may be hard to find. Here a link to one on Hobby Search (out of stock).

The LAU-68D/A and LAU-131/A are the same length, if you can't find an Attack Squadron LAU-131 you can just use a Hasegawa (or any other aftermarket) LAU-68. Only the LAU-68F/A is longer because it is used for APKWS and to my knowledge, no aftermarket company has made a LAU-68F/A yet.

 

The LAU-131 is the Air Force's version of the LAU-68C/A, there are some internal differences but externally they are basically the same.
