TOPGUN88 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I just won a bid at the weekend, spending silly money on an airwaves Wasp conversion set for my scout, After searching the net i found out that i could only find decals from mav decals for SAAF, Old model decals New Zealand version and a Forgotten Operations Falklands war sheet with a camo scheme. Does anyone know if there are any other Wasp sheets available as many of them seem to be long out of production Edited February 2, 2016 by TOPGUN88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Modelart did a rather nice set. (72-036) sometimes crops up on eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby57 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Beyond making your own...ask in the wants section...or, modify available transfers. (Check Hannants for generic national markings...ie, standard sized roundels, standard sized force legends, e.g. 'Royal Navy' at about 11 inch height etc, etc. Other than specific sheets, I know Colin of Freightdog was/is considering a kit release. Don't know however if decals were ever near the production stage. Just a heads up on that front. But i too have an Airfix Wasp but haven't tracked any conversion sets so I will admit...I'm a very jealous little boy. Hope you complete your project. A 'Flying Marines' Scout is my only recourse at the moment...keeping everything Pusser as I have to, but I'm sure the AAC had a lot to do with that.

TOPGUN88 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) been looking on google to see if there are any kits out there that i have that have as-12 missiles in them but cant find any that may have these missiles in them. Anyone know of any kits that I can steel a pair from that I may have in my stash just encase I decide to model the kit with one on each side?

bentwaters81tfw Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have a suspicion that C-Scale did AS-12s. All my C-Scale stuff has gone (Including a Wasp conversion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 AS-12's (or were they AS-11's?) and pylons were included in the Airwaves Scout set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN88 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys. does the aviation news articles plans 1/72 show the armament/missiles that were used on the scout/wasp? Looked at the website for the photocopies of these but couldn't get a preview picture. Edited February 6, 2016 by TOPGUN88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatalbert Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Airwaves did two sets for the Airfix Scout. (Apart from the wasp conversion)a set for the scout incuding missiles,for guns and skid mounted guns,and a set for a wasp that Included the missiles your after.

JOHN ELLIS Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The Aviation News drawings do not show any weapons fitments. So far all the Wasp/Scout drawings I have do show anything either. However the Scale Aircraft Modelling article colour scheme drawings do show some views that might help.

TOPGUN88 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks guys. John Ive had a look and those drawings are really helpful indeed, Ive even noticed one that cought my eye with the exocet decoy on starboard side and the AS-12 on the port side. I did come across a post somewhere with someone saying there were 1/72 scale drawings of an as -12 but I havnt came across it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The 4+ Wessex publication has scale drawings of AS12 and SS11 in the detailing section near the back I remember Any help to you? I used them when I made the missiles on my Scout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
