  1. That perfect thanks Derek Do you know if I will need to fit a seperate targeting pod such as a AN/AAQ14 (See link below) to handle the IR imaging for the Maverick's and/or laser target designation for the GBU-12 Paveway II's? Or are these built into the Hawk 209 airframe? http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...ons/lantirn.htm If so a nice looking warload would be as follows Centre line - AN/AAQ14 Inner Wing - AGM-65 Maverick Outer Wing - GBU-12 Paveway II's Wing Tips - AIM-9 Sidewinder But I suspect a more realistic load out would be as above but either 4 x Mavericks or 4 x Paveway's as both weapons seem to do the same nasty things to the same types of ground targets and I can't see much advantage in mixing up these two types of weapons on the one sortie, Kind Regards Jim
  2. Thanks for that Gary I'm looking at doing my second Hawk kit as one of our RAAF Hawk 127 dual seaters which will feature the ACMI training sidewinders and drop tanks, so my thinking is that this TNI-AU Hawk 209 will be fully bombed up with a heavy war load as a stark contrast to the light training armament that our own RAAF Hawks get around with. But your right mate the ACMI pods do look good on the little Hawks Jim
  3. It was more the full panel line re-scribe as well as inserting the Red Roo Resin tail cones and resin cockpit plug for the single seater, one thing I did find with the Heller kit was that the undercarriage legs are not very strong (when asked to carry the Red Roo full resin 1300L & 1700L drop tanks) so I had to drip them three times in a bath of CA glue to give them extra strength. Not sure if the SAAF Cheetah's use these large drop tanks? HTH Jim
  4. XXL strait jacket...... We don't make small Australians!!!! These builds took me over 6 months and your right, they did drive me around the bend Enjoy
  5. Hi Dave Have you tried High Planes & Red Roo both from Australia As the Heller Mirage IIIC/B is used as a base for building our much loved RAAF Mirage IIIo, both these Australian companies do resin ejection seats, cockpits & full IIIo conversion sets that might be of use for this kit. I've used all of these bits in combination with the Eduard PE set that you mentioned to make my RAAF Mirage Kits. http://www.redroomodels.com/ Mirage IIIB conversion http://www.redroomodels.com/conversions.php?conversion=354 Mirage IIIO conversion http://www.redroomodels.com/conversions.php?conversion=353 http://www.hiplanes.dragnet.com.au/ Mirage IIIO/B Martin Baker Mk4 Ejection Seat http://www.hiplanes.dragnet.com.au/new/ima...C4803_large.jpg Mirage IIIO/B Martin Baker Mk6 Ejection Seat http://www.hiplanes.dragnet.com.au/new/ima...C4804_large.jpg Jim (from the great southern land)
  6. Hi Gents I'm just starting on the 1/48 Airfix Hawk 100 with the Neomega Hawk 200 single seat conversion with the aim of doing a TNI-AU (Indonesian) Hawk 209 and I'm after information about possible weapon load outs. Can't seem to find much information about specific hardpoint load limits or restrictions for the Hawk 200, so I've only got photos to go off. Currently I'm looking at the following Centre line - Empty Inner Pylon - Drop Tanks (large type from airfix kit) Outer Pylon - AGM-65? Maverick ASM Wing Tips - AIM-9L Sidewinder AAM Can anyone see anything wrong with this load out or can anyone recommend a different load out? Could the centre line gun pack be carried with the above wing loads? Thanks in advance Jim (from the great southern land)
