Douglas D-704 Buddy Pod

[CJP]

Hello all

I want to fit a SAC D704 Buddy Pod to my 1/32 Hasegawa A4 Skyhawk but am  having trouble finding drawings/detail photos of how it mounts to the centreline pylon - lugs, connectors, pipes etc - also correct positioning of the pod in relation to the nose gear - it looks pretty close to the rear of the nose wheel bay in what photos I have been able to find but again I have found no drawing that gives an exact location - any info would be appreciated.

thanks

Chris

Check out this site, i don't think it has drawings but plenty of images, with the Buddy store fitted.

Here's a schematic of the D-704 I have saved in my hard drive.

Always check Tommy Thomason's  Tailhook Topics when you look for something relating the US Navy. You will find more info on the D-704 here.
