Its a Detonation CORD, there is nothing musical about it at all!🤣 Selwyn

Just remember the Sea Eagle in this set is innacurate as it does not have the jettisonable air intake cover, (It's depicted as a missile after launch), and there is no such thing as a CPU123 bomb (its actually called a 1000lb Paveway II (UK). Selwyn

if I recall the black (AP) band was the front band. IIRC the ancient and rare RAF/NATO Weapons Kit, Airfix 05041 (1992) had the correct missile markings. Selwyn

The Sidewinders had a similar problem with cooling although probably not as longtime to cool, but it also had limited cooling gas. The Main problem with Falcon was the lack of the proximity fuze, Robin Olds reported several instances of falcons near missing targets , it would probably have a better success rate if it had proximity fuzing. Another telling factor is the fitting of the 20mm cannon on the F106, a tacit admission of the Falcons deficiencies? Selwyn

Yes. Now Bs381c 224 Selwyn

The colour used in British Deep Bronze Green Selwyn

A is a British 540lb bomb (RAF did not use 500lb bombs in the cold war) C is a Carrier Bomb Light Store (CBLS 100) practice bomb carrier. Others I can't see clearly enough Selwyn

Tony. I would be interested in 1/48 early intakes if you made some. I have just finished a 1/72 FAW8 conversion on the Frog/Novo FAW9 kit using the Frieghtdog nose and it was a pretty painless experience. The cut is not made at the radome angle but at the frame in front of the canopy so no funny angles to cut. Selwyn

As stated it looks like its flat. AP drawings are invariably accurate especially as below they are showing the removal frame installation and fastener positions Selwyn

Contacted the "Gloster Javelin a Reconstruction" on facebook to see if they could help about the FAW7 Fairing. The admin there John Keen has come up with a AP image showing the method of removing the FAW7 fairing, it does not show any shaping underneath the jetpipes, just a flat plate. I have asked if it was OK if I can repost on this site, awaiting a reply. Selwyn

The pilot had to fire from a precise distance to achieve concentration at that point, which was indicated to him on his gunsight range ring. Slightly twisting wings wasn't a problem with the Hurricane. Selwyn

There was not wide spread of fire, the guns were harmonised so the fire from all 8 guns, and the gunsight pipper converged at an imaginary point in front of the aircraft so providing a killing punch to the target aircraft. Selwyn

Yes I agree. Selwyn

Obviously a trials aircraft shot as the production FAW7 wasn't capable of AAR. I was thinking of contacting the Gloster Javelin Reconstruction on Facebook to see if they had anything in their archives on it. Selwyn

The live rounds were overall matt EDSG with a 2"Golden Yellow And 1" wide Black band over the top half (only) of the warhead section (top of conduit to top of conduit) The Air intake was covered by a pointy cap that was explosively ejected after launch. The drill rounds were gloss DSG with Oxford blue bands. Don't ask me why they were different overall colour, We often wondered why! Selwyn (Once upon a time a Sea Eagle instructor!)
