IAGeezer Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 So, I'm doing an OIF 2003-04 FAC(A) bird, and have a couple of pictures of the aircraft, showing what look like 4-shot WP rocket pods. Exactly what pod are they, and does anyone make them in 1/48th? Oh, and were the ATARS birds used for the FAC(A) missions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 LAU-10 pods and Eduard make them always in the wrong 1/48 scale Don't know about OIF ATARS I think MAW decals instruction had some information about it but I don't own it anymore Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The ATARS jets can and do carry the exact same load as the standard F/A-18C/D's, so no difference there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 @IAGeezer, can you post those pics? I've got a Delta in the stash and I'm looking for inspiration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAGeezer Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Luigi - Just looked at the MAW 001 sheet, and it has loadout info in the instructions. Plus(!!), it is in the right scale! Now I just have to locate some pods, I think the Hase weapons set B(?) has them also. thanks for the reminder! Neils - Thanks for the confirmation. Pick - I'm using the Osprey series #56, US Marine Corps & RAAF Hornet units of OIF, and I'm not so sure about copyright, etc... It IS, however, a terrific resource to use. You can get it used for $5.44 on Amazon(I just looked). Thanks, Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Scott, Hasegawa pods have some dimension errors,someone in the past pointed it on this forums or Zone Five or maybe Tailhook topics had it covered,really I don't remember it very well but it seems that the dimensions are good for USAF 7 shots Zuni pods,the good ones are inside Fujimi A-4 kits and also the newer AV-8A from Airfix,I'm not sure about the ones included in the older Italeri weapon set but I will take a look if I manage to find them inside the sparepandoraparts box EDIT found them and they more shorter and thin than Fujimi ones Luigi Edited April 23, 2018 by Mizar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
