Anders_Isaksson Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 While I have seen a few good looking HVAR rocket by CMK, Profi Modeller etc in this scale, I still have to find a set of mounts for said rockets. Thinking about arming a Korean War Mustang with rockets but their mounts does not seem to be included with any of the Tamiya kits. Otherwise I may just go for a pair of 500lb bombs... Any ideas out there? TIA! 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 No joy when it comes to aftermarket, I guess. Just read that Trumpeter and Dragon seems to include the mounts in their Mustang kits. If all else fails I will post in the trade section to ask for a leftover set to buy.

11bee Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yeah, I'll be following you at some point looking for these so I can do Korean War 'Stang. Never figured out why Tamiya neglected to include these. As another source, note that Tamiya included these with their F4U-1D Corsair kit. Many of these aircraft didn't fly with the mounts, so quite possibly there are some modelers out there who won't be using them. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Excellent info, thanks! Never thought about the Tamiya F4U-1D and since I plan to get one of those kits anyway my problem might be solved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If you go with markings from the Fundekals set, the majority of those Corsairs had the rocket mounts removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good call. Sure sounds like the Tamiya -1D is the way to go... :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
