Great pics, thanks for posting them! Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glidingbob Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Pig tail It looks to me like stabilizer. I know that in the early years of the Mirage 5 BA in BAF there were a lot of problem when launching a bomb from the central pylon; It didn't fall but stayed under the bellt in the slipstream of the aircraft with all consequences you can imagine; May be was that feature part of solution? I will ask one of my friends who worked as an armorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I concur; that's a Matra bomb. What is more; the Wingman Models 1/48 Mirage 5F brings two resin examples I will gladly trade for the wingtip rails on the GWH 1/48 Su-35 kit. Yeh, me will.
