Doccur Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi all, a quick one for those more knowledgable than I. I am currently modelling this specific aircraft, Panavia Tornado GR.4 ‘Pinky’ ZG750. I am tempted to display it with Paveways on the fuselage rails. But what specific type are they? And are they available? Eduard do a few bit of various type and I’m unsure what to get.

Richard E Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi Ash This thread might help answer your question and will give you some other pictures. The Paveways are probably available from the aftermarket; what scale are you planning to build your version of Pinky in ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Thanks rich! Much appreciated. Paveway IIs! It is in 1/48th scale, so these: https://www.eduard.com/eduard/brassin/aircraft/1-48/paveway-ii-mk-13-18-1-48.html Should do the trick!

The ones fitted to this aircraft are practice bombs with blue Mk 22 warheads not operational (green mk 20) Warheads. Selwyn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Actually, checking the photos in the link @RichardE posted above, these are Enhanced Paveway IIIs. The main visible differences are dual GPS domes on the seeker section (basically like rounded, truncated cylinders on opposite sides), and external wiring conduit that runs along the side of the bomb body. These were associated with the upgraded guidance, adding a GPS option to the standard laser guidance, so I assume all mods are present on the training rounds same as live munitions. 1/48 source, which includes a good photo of the real thing, here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235068537-uk-enhanced-paveway-ii-mk1318-648518-148/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
