MeneMene 375 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'm working on a Viggen and am looking into maybe putting some missiles on it for a QRA scenario. I can't find any aftermarket Skyflash missiles in 1/48. Would it be accurate to just use an AIM-7E? I know there were internal differences with the guidance and radar seeker, but externally were there any big differences between the Skyflash and the AIM-7E that would be readily apparent in 1/48? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
exdraken 10,383 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 hi, difference comes basically down to some cable ducts and probably colors and some markings there are quite nice Skyflash missiles in the Revell Tornado kit https://www.revell.de/en/produkte/modellbau/flugzeuge/militaer-modern-revell/tornado-f-3-adv.html some images here: https://www.tornadosig.com/skyflash.html and here: Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in 1/72 and 1/48 the airframe differences are not really apparent. the skyflash has 4 antenna strips on the forebody and of course the skyflash is a different colour to AIM7E (i.e. not white!)
