Lockheed Starfighter - help needed

[Tony Whittingham]

Hello All Starfighter experts,

Does anyone have dimensions for the bomb dispenser seen on the centreline rack of Canadian  and NATO Starfighter? I’m looking to scratch build one in 1/32 scale. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Airdoc book says the RCAF MN-1A pod is 4 metres long and has a diameter of 43 centimetres. You could also just buy the Videoaviation SUU-21 for your NATO F-104's, which is basically the same thing: http://www.videoaviation.com/accessories/132-suu-21-bomb-dispenser-closed/

The Canadian ones were shorter than the standard because of the nose gear.  Just the nose cone was different.

Thank you, gents!

That’s a great help!

I agree with Creepy Pete . . . The Videoaviation pod is an excellent buy, and comes complete with practice bombs. I've got one for my 1/32 F-100, which i shall build in the near future.

Here is a drawing i made of the SUU-21/MN-1A going by the handout i still have from my CF-104 Armament course and from memory of loading on the CF-104:
