goose Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 whilst in Scotland in 2011, I saw a typhoon land after a QRA alert, it had 4 missiles under belly, two fuel tanks under wings, and two pairs of asraam outside the tanks, the revell 72 scale kit, ive just noticed only has fuel tanks and one pylon outside, is there any pylons in this scale to make up missing ones. i have decals for 6 sqd missiles etc, but not the missing pylon, any suggestions?

Bobski Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Olimp's resin set "An Englishman Over Tripoly" has the missing outboard pylons. It's available from Hannants here: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ORA7214 You will need to add the Multi-Function Rail Launchers (MFRLs) to allow the carriage of the second pair of ASRAAMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmansam Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 you would get away with doing it with only 1 on each wing, and only 3 on the belly!!! seen this the other day, the one missing is the one by the gun port!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Another option is to see if someone building the Hasegawa Typhoon isn't using theirs (the kit has pylons with the MFRL's and without) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are talking about the pylons that fit between the tanks and the permanent Tip stub pylons that only carry ASRAAM? I thought these came with the kit? These pylons can be fitted with Rail launchers for an additional 2 ASRAAM. The missing pylons in the kit are the inboard set (between the tank and fuselage) which do not carry Air to air missiles.

Rob P Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Selwyn, the 1:72 Revell Typhoon misses both the two inboard pylons (between the tanks and fuselage) and the AAM pylons between the tanks and tip stub pylons. They included them in the 1:48 version though. Even worse, the 1:72 two seater doesn't even come with Asraams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way the outer pylons arn't just for AAM, if you don't fit the launchers, you can fit bombs to them as well. Selwyn (PS- I didn't need the pictures I regularly see Typhoons up close!)
