Harrier CAV Rocket Pods

[LaurieS]

Building a Harrier MK7 Afghanistan type. Need these rockets.

 

Can you help.

 

Has any one any they do not want ?

 

Any source for them.

 

The British Army apache I have built has these rockets. Aere these similar to the ones the Harrier carried.

 

Most grateful for info on this matter.

Hi Laurie

 

It's the CRV7 rocket pods you're looking for, it's a different pod from that carried by the Apache. You didn't mention a scale, if it's 1/72 I think maybe you get them in the latest Airfix Harrier GR7/9 release. Quite hard to come by in 1/48, Canadian company Beltchers Bits do them and not sure if you got them in the Olimp Resin sets.

Hi Muzz. Thanks for your time much appreciated.

 

1/48 by the way should have stated that. Get annoyed when others make the same mistake tut.

 

No joy with Belcher or Olimp. Also Hasegawa who do in 1/48 about 6 huge sets of ordnance but not the rockets.

 

Looks as though I may have to try and make them. Either that or pretend they fell off.

 

Thanks Laurie

Well if its any help the apache stopped using the rockets out in Afg because they were an indiscrimate weapon hence they only used guns and helfire.

 

 

 

So....

Is this the same unit described by the OP?

Second post contains a now broken link with first image. Hopefully the later image by Julien is useful?
