Gary West Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Looking to model a CF-104D from the early 1970's but I need a couple of Napalm Tanks - finless style, that look quite similar to baggage or personnel pods. Would anyone know if there any other 1/48 kits out there that include these? I guess the cant be difficult to scratch from the spare box, so equally if anyone has a good link to some detailed pics, that would be much appreciated. Thanks Edited February 28, 2014 by Gary West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hasegawa's Weapon Set A has a couple of BLU-27 napalm tanks but are the version with fins. Aerobonus has a couple of resin finless style tanks. AMS Resin had the same style of tanks but I don't know if these are still in production while Aerobonus' sure are and are easily available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 IIRC Baggage pods were often ex-Napalm tanks, so you're not too far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Blimey under my nose all the time - True detail produce them and Hannants stock them and less than a fiver - result. Cheers for your help anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 They were old BLU-1 napalm tanks converted into luggage carriers. Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary West Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for the link John - very handy for future reference. Managed to get me some on-line so turning my attention to the dreaded MN1A practice bomb dispenser now instead :-( Why is modelling never straight forward - maybe because I never build from the box 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
