scotthldr Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) MICA IR (and Meteor) surprised India were sold Meteor Edited February 12, 2023 by scotthldr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) It's right, that Rafale loaded the Mica EM and the Meteor, but be aware of the "Cigare" from the Spectra system of the IAF is different than the other exporting countries. the IAF use the X-guard (EW Solution) developed by Rafael. https://www.rafael.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/x-guard.pdf Edited February 13, 2023 by salomon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 What might be a good source for a 1/48 Meteor msisle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 As far as I know Transport Wings https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TWC48028 and the Revell EF Typhoon are your only options for Meteor in 1/48. Just to reiterate that the MICA missile on the wing tips in your picture is the IR version not the EM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The Mica in the picture is the muck up IR, but not the real operation missile, just like the AASM bombs. I draw the Meteor also the support , the details of the missile must be exaggerated to be printed, this is the reason why we can't respect the real dimension of a real aircraft, if not every detail looks so tiny and the airplane body so smooth, except the Russian aircraft and the WW2 aircraft.

salomon Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I have to set up the detail of the missile, because it's so tiny and we can't see those out of the print, the pylon is fine. If you guys are interested, I'll can make some and sell its for reasonable price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
