GMK Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Unsure whether this has been covered before? I'm after pics of the 36 shot, 2 inch rocket pods used by the RN. Also, are there any representation of these available in the major scales (1/144-1/32)? Thanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I think Freight Dog made them in 1/72 but I can't see them on the website now. They may be included in the CMR 1/72 Buccaneers or the Airfic 1/48 B Uccaneers or Sea Vixen but I don't know as that's not my scale. There's a pic of one in this thread. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72156entry793898 David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks guys. Am I right that the Airfix Vixen has the 24 shot vs the 36 shot pod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks guys. Am I right that the Airfix Vixen has the 24 shot vs the 36 shot pod? Never heard of a 24 shot pod...........! Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChocksAway Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Tamiya AV-8A Harrier in 1/48th has 4 in the kit Skyraider 68mm rocket pods (SMDS48036 has 4 per pack in resin (1/48th) Flightpath has them in resin - 2 per pack (1/48th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix 1/48th Sea Vixen and Harrier GR3 kits have them, the Cyberhobby 1/72 Sea Vixen FAW1 has them. The CMK Buccaneer pods are flawed as they use the same body with different noses, when the 36 rocket pod should be fatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocksAway Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Geoff_B Oops - looks like I did, sorry. Showing my ignorance in public again. Perhaps I need side-by-side shots to show the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RAF only used The 18 shot 155 SNEB rocket Launcher and the (rarely seen) 19 shot disposable SNEB launcher (designated 115 IIRC!) on land, and the Navy 2" rocket when deployed from carriers, as the SNEB was inadaquately EM shielded from shipborne radar emmisions.

Julien Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I found this pic on line, http://www.seavixen.org/resources/4269/uploadedPix/Copy_of_Navy_Photo_s031_pcv.jpg On this site http://www.seavixen.org/index.cfm?fa=contentGeneric.ahecdwrddykjxcae&pageId=78794# Interesting that the RN crew said the 3" was far more accurate and deadly than the 2", If the 3" fell short on a ship the fins would level it out underwater and it would punch holes through the hull!!

Red Dragon Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 If the 3" was more accurate than the 2", the 2" must have been bloody inaccurate! with the 3" you had a bit of a job hitting the sea never mind anything else. Impressive when fired in salvo though!

Selwyn That's why the RAF Harrier GR3 used Navy 2" pods during the Falklands war and not SNEB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
