Thud4444 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Those rocket pods look comically huge on that plane! Lovely model and a striking scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Cheers guys.The rocket pods are actually from the single seat Gnat, which is even smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Are those pods 1/48?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Looking at them (and realising it was a real world fit) one wonders if a full salvo would boost it past Mach 1!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B (Sc) Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Looking at them (and realising it was a real world fit) one wonders if a full salvo would boost it past Mach 1!! Presumably only if the release mechanisms (shear pins?) for the rockets didn't work ! John B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nice, I really like it in that camo scheme, whereabouts did the decals come from? They may just fit with a plan I have. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decals came from the original release of the Airfix 1/72 Strikemaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Which means I've probably got some, thanks for that, the memory needs a nudge occasionally. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
