Dave T Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Thought i'd put my morbid fascination of instant sunshine to good use, and hopefully (with the help of others) attempt to list nuclear weapons kitted in 1/72 scale in a similar vain to the 72nd Rockets & Missiles website I'm aware of some i don't have myself such as Fat Man & Little boy in Academys B-29, BM Models Thor IRBM, or the sleek version B.43 in Trumpeters Vigilante, but here's my little stockpile... Left to right, top to bottom ALCM - Monogram B-1B (also in Airfix kit) Blue Steel - Airfix Vulcan Skybolt - SharKit resin Red Beard - Airfix TSR.2 B.43 - Italeri B-58 Hustler B.61 - Italeri NATO/USA a/c weapons set Mk.17 - Spectre Resins B.28 - Spectre Resins Mk.39 - Spectre Resins WE.177B - SAM Publications resin Titan II ICBM - Anigrand resin .

marty_hopkirk Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thor was IRBM, not ICBM. There is a 1/76 kit of the launch vehicle iand its tansporter/errector. The manufacturer escapes me. Mach 2 have a kit of the missile only in quarter scale. Anigrand produce an Atlas in 1/144. Mar y... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thor was IRBM, not ICBM. There is a 1/76 kit of the launch vehicle iand its tansporter/errector. The manufacturer escapes me. That will probably be BW Models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailspin Turtle Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Twelve Square produced a very basic early Mk 4 with a simple cart shown below with an AJ Savage from the Airmodel "kit" It's long out of production and inferior to the Spectre Mk 4. Kora has an excellent Mk 1 (see below) with cart and also a Mk 3. They are very expensive, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
