Cheers Warris!! :drink::D

Why not just use the 19-shot LAU-3 as found in the Hasegawa weapons kits?

Regards

Because;

A-I dont have the Hasagawa weapons kit

B-I lost my job in Nov & have priorities over buying extras as I cannot afford it (ie-Orbits vets treatment)

Hello mate,

what scale is your GR? I'm sure I have some 1/72 CRV-7 19 shot pods in my spares box and you can have em if i can find em. let me know.

Cheers Pete

Thanks Pete,

It's the 1/48 Revell GR7/9.I'm doing it like one of the ones Warris posted photo's of,33A.I managed to scratchbuild 2 by combining the body of the airfix Buccs SNEB pods & the nose from roclet pods from the Tamiya Skyraider.

If they are 1/48 any chance of them being cast up in resin....i'd love a couple for a WAH-64D Apache

The UK Apache doesn't use the CVR-7 Pod as used by the harriers, It uses the standard US M261 Lightweight Launcher.

The launcher is cleared to fire the CVR-7 Rockets in UK service. The only difference is the UK M261 have been modified with the Debris guard on the nose. (That black pepper pot thingy on the front)

Edit: heres a link that may help: http://www.magellan.aero/content/objects/Rpd.pdf
