Glynn Jacobs Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hi All, Can someone tell me what type of pod that is sometimes carried by B-52Hs under the left wing (opposite the Sniper pod under the right wing)? And now, if Res-kit would produce that pod and pylon in 72nd scale (along with the Sniper pod pylons for BUFFS and BONES), I could probably be satisfied with my Hobby! Thanks, WARDOG Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, WARDOG I wasn’t aware that they carried any pod opposite the targeting pod. I’m intrigued, anyone got pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 AN/ASQ-236 I know B-52’s carry that pod. Could it be that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 i also would love for someone to do pylons and pods. As well as an antennae update kit for the fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Only thing I’ve seen under the left wing the past several years is a range pod...don’t know what specific model, but looks like the ACMI pod included in 1/72 Hasegawa weapons set V. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RED FLAG maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 SNIPER on the right, and yes RED FLAG more than likely. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
