gunner Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Does any kit or aftermarket company make a 1/32 scale underwing RADAR pod. I would like to use it on my HPH Helldiver. Thanks Vandy 1 VX 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Gunner Talk to Harold of AMS, I did a master of a AN APS-4 radar that you need. It is the same radar pod under the P-38M nose The AN APS-4 is a surface search radar pod https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1708&bih=760&q=AN+APS-4&oq=AN+APS-4&gs_l=img.12...1924.1924.0.3317.2.2.0.0.0.0.71.71.1.1.0....0...1ac.2.64.img..1.0.0.0.z7BQWQAB4H0#imgrc=A_gmJhLP2SjvOM: http://www.duxfordradiosociety.org/restoration/equip/aps4/aps4.html https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ref/RADTWOA/RADTWOA-2.html#an/aps4 http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2012/11/things-under-wings-radar.html http://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php?detail=20632 Edited March 10, 2017 by Vandy 1 VX 4 Mebo and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phasephantomphixer Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Would it be a set? Pod, boxes and scope for cockpit? Significant enough in our scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Unlike the F4U-2, there is lots of refs for the cockpit on the F6F-5N........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thanks Vandy 1. I will try get in touch with Harold and see if I can pick one up from him.

It was a little on the large side. Like 1/30 th. Harold has the pod only. But also has the instrument panel RadarScope from the F4U2. That is why I included the diagrams in the link for the rest of the stuff. Jerry Ruttman did the rest at one time for the P-38 m thank you for the invite to the barbecue hope to see you two again soon.
