Shar2 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Bazooka Launchers for P-401:32 Brassin Arriving in the cardboard box that are used for the more fragile sets in the Brassin range, this set consists of two complete launchers, four end plates, and four fixing arms. There is also a smallish etched sheet, containing the straps that go round each three tube launcher and a small resin fixture for he straps. Construction is relatively simple, just cut the moulding blocks off the launchers and launcher end sections, for which the modeller has the option of fitting one pair for armed or the other pair for empty launchers. Each of the upright fixtures is then glued to the top attachment points of the launchers. The tubes are then fitted with six straps which go round all three tubes, and a strengthening strap that is fitted between the aft attachment point to one of the binding straps. ConclusionI didn’t even realise the P-40 ever carried these bazooka style launchers, and I suggest that some research is carried out to ensure the particular aircraft you wish to build, did in fact carry them. As usual the mouldings are superb and they will certainly give the P-40 a different look in your collection. Review sample courtesy of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 A quick google search revealed a couple of pics of a P-40 being fitted with these rockets. I would suggest that they weren't used very often on P-40's as they certainly weren't even that common of P-47's. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
