Hi Shaun,

That looks very nice to me. The Harrier SIG would probably take at least 20 off you hands without any problem.

Do you also have a TERMA pod on your 'To Do' lists? If yes, I'm sure we'd go for a similar number of those!

Cheers for now, hope to hear from you soon.

Nick

P.S. Thanks to Stephen Prior for the heads-up!

I'm glad the ones I've sent out have been well received :thumbsup2:

As for the TERMA pod, I have thought about it but I'm lacking measurements and close up photos for details on the pod.

Can anyone help with this?, I may attempt to make one with the right info to hand. :hmmm:

Shaun.

I can't help with any measurements or photos, but I would DEFINITELY be interested in a few of those, if you are able to make them. :analintruder:

I've been sent some excellent photos of the TERMA pod, just got to work out now how to build one :hmmm:

Shaun.

... Shaun, please, go on with the TERMA pod... it'll be a great plus!

And if you find a way to make one in 1/48th scale... than I'll try to make it in 1/32nd!

CIAO!

There appears to be a demand for the TERMA pod, I've done some sorting though the spares box and have come up with a plan. I think the hardest part will be the pylon, strange angles and under fuselage shape.

Does anyone know which way the bays on the Harrier TERMA pod were loaded-position of Chaff or Flare buckets?

The excellent photo's I've got show an unloaded pod.

Well done Shaun. Put me down for a Terma pod if you make them.

Does anyone know if the Harrier TERMA pod is flare packs only?, no chaff?

Shaun.

Shaun are you making both a Harrier and GR-4 pod?

You should start your own business!

Currently I'm drawing up ideas on how to make both Tornado and Harrier pods.

The Tornado item is easier just start with a BOZ107 but the Harrier I'm having to start from scratch.

I've made a start, but this is not going to be a done in a night job!

Ah I see. I admire your determination, though I must admit i'm glad the Tornado one is going to be easier, as that's the one i'm after!

Keep up the good work!

Cheers

I am looking forward to getting one of each of those. :analintruder:

My DJRPs are winging their way "across the pond" to me, as I write this. :frantic:

Hi Shaun

The DJRP pod is superb - I've got mine and will probably now be breaking my vow not to build any 1/48th Harriers this year!

If you're doing the TERMA pods for Harrier and/or Tornado in 1/48th then I'd be interested in both - one Harrier pod and two Tornado pods.

In response to your chaff/flare question, both the pods are loaded with flares only as they are designed to detect and decoy IR-guided MANPADS.

Thanks Rob, I'll plan to load the pods with flares buckets then.

Also thanks to everyone who's ordered the DJRP pod, glad I could help with a missing link for a few fellow Harrier modellers.

Shaun.
