Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Does this exist? Hoping to make the converted pod that the 4450th used as a joke on one deployment. They used a -27 shell converted to luggage pod standards, then added all sorts of crazy customizing. I know it's not in any of my Hasegawa weapons sets; maybe an existing kit somewhere has a BLU-27 or a luggage pod that y'all don't need and would sell or trade?

Hoops Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 The Hasegawa A-10 kits have a luggage pod on Sprue "J" Shown here as not for use: https://1999.co.jp/eng/image/10998564/70/4 Maybe somebody has one to spare. Cheers, Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Perfect, thank you! Now, calling any Hase 1/72 Hog owners.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Hoops Hey again, was that "J" sprue in any particular release of the Hase A-10, or in all of them? I've been trying to see on the Ebay listings if I can see it on any of the photos showing the sprues, and I can't find it yet.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glynn Jacobs Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hi Maestro, As Hoops said, the part is on the "J" spruce. Not sure if Hasegawa changed anything on the later A-10C kits but it is definitely there in the Alpha kits. I SHOULD have that part in my Spares Box so I can check for you.

I'm pretty sure that it's in all of the "C" releases, and I think that it is in most of the A releases other than perhaps very early ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wxltcol Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Andrew, I have a bunch of Hasegawa 1/72 A-10s and can get you a baggage pod if War Dog can't. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glynn Jacobs Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hi Andrew, I have located the pod and it is yours, just send me your address. I will also look and see if I have some more pods, possibly in the Hasegawa F-4E kit. IF you have a couple of AIM-9J Sidewinders, I could use a couple for my Austrian J-35Oe project. If not, no problem! You can contact me at; glynnj (at)swbell(dot)net Take Care, WARDOG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Glynn, email sent, missiles located for you. THANK YOU! Thank you also Tom, I'm very thankful for your response and offer as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quixote74 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Looks like you have your request settled, but FYI to anyone else looking: KMC did a set of 1:72 "finless" nape canisters in resin, labeled as BLU-10 & BLU-32: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/kmc-72-7017-blu-10-and-blu-32-napalm-canisters-vietnam--148282 Kora does a similar set, though of lesser quality but still available, labeled as BLU-27s: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/kora-models-dsm72027-blu-27-napalm-bombs--1242766 In addition to the A-10, Hasegawa also included similar parts (for either napalm or baggage pods) in their 'old tool' F-4E/EJ/F kits that are still in production and widely available for much less than the new tool kits (tanks are on sprue B, with the starboard fuselage half).
