Swordsman422 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hey guys, Getting ready to build an IDF F-4E Kurnass and am wondering if there is anyone that still makes a resin IR missile pylon adapter for the forward sparrow bay or what I might use to make one? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) IIRC IsraCast or Eagle Deisgn made it http://www.hyperscale.com/2013/features/f4e48bd_1.htm & http://www.hyperscale.com/features/2001/f4ejc_1.htm Edited March 2, 2021 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yeah, "made," but it looks like Eagle Designs has shuttered and IsraCast doesn't seem to offer one now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 How much different is that pylon adapter compared to the python 3 adapter on the F-15? the GWH F-15B/D include a set of those pylons for python3. can it be modified to fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don't know. The rail itself is just the same LAU-7 usually mounted to the inboard wing pylons. The Python 3, Python 4, and Sidewinder can all use the same rail. This one is adapted to fit into one of the recessed forward bays for the Sparrow missiles, since the Kurnass cannot mount air-to-air weapons on the inboard wing pylons if these pylons are loaded with the AGM-142 or its data link pod.

Alpagueur Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 what about F-4E(S) Peace Jack with this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Thanks, Alpagueur. I think I might be able to make that work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
