Takamota Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Built this one for a mate who needed help..... Straight from the box. Painted with Tamiya acryllics throughout. Went together really well other than the strange assembly instructions for fitting the canopy in the open position!. Thanks for looking.

Takamota Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi thereIs this the older Revell release? Thought the IR sensor on the port side nose had been done away with? (PS I'm no tiffie expert) Anyway great looking model BTW. Adrian No mate. That sensor is called a Pirate pod. It's only just started to be installed on the latest Tiffies off the production line. The quote below is from airforce-technology.com The PIRATE (Passive Infra-Red Airborne Track Equipment) is mounted on the port side of the fuselage, forward of the windscreen. PIRATE has been developed by the EUROFIRST consortium which comprises Galileo Avionica (FIAR) of Italy (lead contractor), Thales Optronics of the UK (system technical authority) and Tecnobit of Spain. PIRATE operates in both 3-5 and 8-11 micron spectral bands. When used with the radar in an air-to-air role, it functions as an Infrared Search and Track system (IRST), providing passive target detection and tracking. In an air-to-surface role, it performs multiple target acquisition and identification, as well as providing a navigation and landing aid. PIRATE provides a steerable image to the pilot's helmet-mounted display. Thanks for all the kind comments guys. appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
