Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Any thoughts what I can use, simply, within reason, for a centerline pylon for a 1/72 F-4D? Would like to hang an MER on it. Maybe there's something ready-made in the Hasegawa 1/72 weapons sets that I didn't notice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milo Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Fujimi's F-4s have a centerline pylon. It's part 65, maybe you can get one from the Spares section. Fujimi F-4C/D instructions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quixote74 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) If you don't have a spare Fujimi part handy, the shape is simple enough you could probably scratch it from styrene or a similar pylon/rail easily. FWIW here's a dimensioned profile of the Fujimi pylon (leading and trailing edges have an airfoil-style taper in plan): Correcting the length dimension, should be 42mm / 4.2cm. 😳 Edited July 18, 2020 by Quixote74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quixote74 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Also found this thread, which includes T.O. isometrics of the full pylon/adapter and MER arrangement: Phantom Centerline MER Mounting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
