Hi Mike

 

It looks like a RAIDS (Rangeless Airborne Instrumented Debriefing System) ACMI pod fitted with a pair of ballast weights - if you looks at pictures of RAF Typhoons you will often see them carrying with the same type of pod fitted with three weighted collars.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Richard; I thought that the collars might be ballast weights, now I'll follow up your suggestion to look at Typhoon pictuers.

Thanks for the photo Steve - it appeared while I was typing my reply to Richard.  I'm sure I can make something like that from missile spare bodies.

Maybe the CATM-120 B/C Captive Air Training Missile from Reskit could help you (?).
