Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone I’m building a Spanish Air Force AT-6D in the TEXAN single type build. The type flown over the Sahara and I would like to add the rocket launchers/rockets something like this. https://pin.it/2dZe5zN Does anyone make them aftermarket in 1/72 ? Ive found them in 1/48 & 1/32 but nothing in 1/72. I know that Special hobby’s 1/72 Buchon comes with them. Im pretty sure I can scratch-build them the rockets are dirt simple. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_cm_Flz.-Rakete_Oerlikon I would need a close up of the rocket tree as they're staggered vertically. They come two to a mount and four rockets/two tree’s to a wing. Any help would be appreciated.

RidgeRunner Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I think they will work for the Buchon too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 These look an awful lot like the Sakr rockets / rails in the Airfix MiG-17 kit - these were based on the oerlikons in real life, I recall. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys looks like I could use a MiG now. Unfortunately SWMBO is a wee bit upset as I blew my modeling budget and accidentally used some of her gardening money. So will need to wait until June or July. Oh well looks like scratch building is the route for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan R-S Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Who sales the Croko conversion shown above in USA? Been looking for this set for a while. Just trying to prevent using the rockets from the SH Buchon kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan R-S Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Pity. Perhaps I may find this set at the IPMS Nationals later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it and an just waiting for Wolfpacks release of the T-6 this year. Supposedly in May. The resin is very crisp and delivery was very fast.

Scout712 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I don't know if you speak spanish but here is a nice article about building a Spanish T-6 as flown in the Sahara conflict. The fuel barrel in the back seat which he mentioned was a local mod but it was painted in the same grey as the seat. https://manupedia.com.es/2017/05/01/t-6d-texan-lagarto/ Regards Michael Edited April 21, 2021 by Scout712 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
