Harrier/ViperFan Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am about to start my 1/48 F/A-18F and I have to say I find the inbox loadout extremely boring. Now I am not up on my USN modern stuff but I know that F/A-18E/F like the legacy Hornets have those racks (not sure of the name) where they can have things like Mk 82's, GBU 12's GBU 38's side by side. Now I looked at the hase kits it seems that only the Legacy Hornet kits only come with the older version of it. Does anyone make any resin ones? I had a look on Hannants but not knowing the name of them it was a fruitless exercise to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 BRU-33/55. Attack Squadron made them in 1/48 but are very hard to get now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave is correct on both counts, however, the -55's are not that different externally. Essentailly, they have a horizontal bracket on either side of the rear of the rack. n online search for BRU-55 CVER will turn up planty of useful pictures. You can try hunting down hunt the resin items items and pay a high price of spend about 15mins modifying the 'old' BRU-33 pylons to represent the updated 55's. Incidentally, don't forget to cant the wing pylons outwards as most kits have these parallel to the fuselage which is incorrect, cheers, Pappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
