Have you noticed that the Eduard BOZ pod is a bit shorter than Revell's plastic one?

 

hmmmm your obervations do not make life easier :D

 

I have of course no idea how long a real BOZ pod is, and if there are dimensionally different versions out there.. BOZ-EC? BOZ-103?, BOZ-107?.....

what I can provide you with is my BOZ pod arsenal in 48th....

Revell

Eduard Brassin

 

 

compare the Eduard one with an Italeri (F.3)= BOZ pod

I do not even know were to align it....as there is a ~3mm long cylindrical bit missing (lower left corner)

 

or with the Revell one:

roughly the same size.... 

but totally differnt lengh of the front cone.... (I read at ebay , (you can buy half a Tornado there it seems..! ):wall: that it should be 1,5m in length,   the Revell one has ~34mm... ....)

 

or the Airfix (also F.3 provenicence) but eihter missing the rear end, or not including one... can't tell anymore :(

make up your mind :D

 

imho Eduard looks best detail wise, ,

Revell and Italeri look way different shapewise. but similar detail wise..

 

Airfix could also be somthing else....

 

those are definitely not the same thing:

Tom make things more confusing, Eduard claims that the resin pod is a BOZ EC, but according to SAAB who makes them in real life they look like this

A totally different beast!

that is not the same one... that is the fancy one the RAF procured for Afghanistan? think it is called Terma pod:

I think Luftwaffe uses the Saab BOZ-EC (Enhanced capabilities pod)

https://www.saab.com/products/countermeasure-dispensing-systems

RAF GR4 surely used the TERMA pod but they look a bit different, compare the rear end.

TERMA has 2 detectors there BOZ-EC has 4.

In any case, Eduard:s pod is not TERMA nor BOZ-EC :)

you are right! those are different again!

 

why can't those partly classified things simple be openly available? ;)

 

 

for my 80ies Tornado the BOZ-EC is definitely not the one to use....

 

that is what the kits seats look like with the shallow belt detail removed:

with those belts it could be quite ok!

 

the Sidewinders are from AMK by the way....

It's like they are making things confusing on purpose!

 

Dang, those Sidewinders look great, and good luck with the belt application.

I do hope it is more or less straight forward.... :D

 

 

a green MW1 is better than a resin colored one, no? ;)
