A-10 Armament Question

[osjohnm]

Hi all

Firstly, Merry Xmas.

Secondly, is the dual launch rail on the A-10 the same one thats used on the F-4? If not does anyone make the launcher in 1/48?

Lastly, the rocket pods carried on the A-10 in recent conflicts, are they the same ones used by the AH-1W and AH-64? Was hoping I could use some of my 1/48 Italeri helo kit pods?

If not then would the pods from Hasegawa Set A (or is it work?

Thanks

John

No. As usual the ARC Walkarounds come in handy http://s96920072.onlinehome.us/AWA1/101-20...-10/walk152.htm

For the 1/48 DRA (the A-10's dual Sidewinder launcher), the only one I've ever seen is part of the Flighpath A-10 detail set.

For the rocket pods, I've seen the A-10s carrying a 7-shot pod, not the 19-tube pods carried by the AH-64 and AH-1W. However, the 7-shot pod used on early Vietnam era AH-1Gs looks very similar to me. I plan to use the XM-157 rocket pod from the Cobra Company 1/32 set on my 1/32 A-10.

I have the flight path set and yes you do get the dual sidewinder pylon in it.

Who sells the Flightpath set online?

Thanks
