Tech help, feeling very Dumb here

[Ponti]

Hi all,

 

 Hope someone can help me out with this.   What is this pod on the wingtip?  And can I get it in 1:32?

It's a RAIDS pod (Rangeless Airborne Instrumented Debriefing System) used to generate info during ACM training .I don't think it's available in 1/32, the only one I've seen is in 1/48 but it shouldn't be too hard to scratchbuild, a 1/32 AIM-9 body to start from. IIRC SAM had an article on it

Ah, thanks Stephen.  Been out of fixed wing modelling for a while.
