signals Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Does anyone have more details on the rockets this F-86 is carrying? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 That’s an early version of a 7 round 2.75 in rocket pod. There are some good photos of it in the Airdoc book on German F-84Fs. I’ve seen that pod mostly on Sabres and Thunderstreaks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The A-1 carried them as well: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I roughed some up for an F-84F build, but they aren’t exact. i guess they came from the factory with that smiley face painted on the nose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Looking here; it seems to be the XM141 or the LAU-49 launcher https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Folding-Fin_Aerial_Rocket Edited June 11, 2020 by signals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mandolin Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) The rocket pod in question is the MA-3. Details can be found in T. O. 1-F86D-33-1-1 Edited October 16, 2020 by Mandolin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
