F-5EM: 1/32 Rafael Derby missiles?

Hi,

 

I´m already thinking about a F-5EM conversion (brazilian current version of the Tiger II), and that includes its loadout. 

I know that Isracast does a very nice set of Python 4s, but... I couldn´t find any Derbys in 1/32. Does anyone produces these?

Hi Spectre

 

The Derby is a very clean missile aerodynamic wise with no external ridges etc. It should be easy to scratch build, Diameter is 160 mm, so a 4 mm tube is perfect.

Hi Nick, I don't want to appear pedantic, but 160 mm in 1/32 is 5 mm, not 4 ...

Hi fellas,

 

Yes Thierry, I did consider the Atoll 2C from the MiG-21, but it is too thin and too short. Then I looked at my AMRAAMs, but that one is too long and too thick.

 

In the end, I´ll probably scratchbuilt it (and I´ll need 4 of them... ). Already found 5mm tubes on ebay, and will probably use the head from an AIM-7/120. 

 

Thanks again for the ideas!
