Dassault Mirage F.1EDA Centerline Bomb Rack

Thanks. I don't have that kit, just the Hasegawa & ESCI kits in 1/72 scale. I was wanting to add the bomb rack to a 1/144 Mirage F.1C kit with Qatari decals. Maybe it will not be too difficult to scratch build from plasticard.

No problem, dimensions of the 1/72 are ov length of 53mm by 9mm wide, angles of the 2 arms is approx 10 deg. (though from looking at your pics, the kit part is a bit less angled. A/C in your pic, the angle looks somewhere around the 20-30deg mark. I guess in 1/144 scale a simple eyeball it will suffice)

@NielsThanks Niels, I had not thought to look at 3D printed items. I will see what I can find.  Hmmm, apparently my Shapeways login no longer works. and search results yield zippo. 

 

@barkin mad And I just figured out that the Heller kit also has the rack and I have one in the stash somewhere.  So I will use the 1/72 Heller bomb rack as a template for scratching a 1/144 version.

Well, since Dutch brought it up..! I’ve started working on the Airfix pylon to attach to a Special Hobby kit. But I’m curious to know a couple things about the CLB-4 rack…

 

1) Who developed it? Is it a a French product? South African?

 

2) What air forces used it besides Qatar, South Africa, and Spain?
