  1. When it's time to move it: Jari
  2. Here are a couple of examples: https://cdn.jetphotos.com/full/1/56266_1163149280.jpg Jari
  3. Probably access to engine areas: Jari
  4. Here is a rear view, the fins on the tanks would be level if the pylons were hanging straight down: Jari
  5. I think the weight of the missile is probably less as the standard ship launched missile has the Mk 72 booster which the air launched one doesn't have. A quick search gives this info for the Mk 72: Mk 72 CSD solid rocket engine. SM-2-IV first stage. AKA: SM-2-IV-1. Status: Active. Gross mass: 700 kg (1,540 lb). Unfuelled mass: 243 kg (535 lb). Height: 1.70 m (5.50 ft). Diameter: 0.53 m (1.73 ft). Jari
  6. Here is one about to go for a flight: Jari
  7. Not your average Wild Weasel load, naplam and Shrike: Jari
  8. Not the best images but: most likely there would be a cover at the end of the nozzle cone as they wouldn't want the rocket motor propellant exposed to the elements. It may be clear as the rocket motor for the AIR-2A had a clear cover so we could check to see if the propellant was still okay. Note the missile in the last photo at the left you see it looks shiny in the middle. Jari
  9. Here is one that was shot down and being recovered: https://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/british-forces/49402/shot-down-during-the-"night-of-taranto" Jari
  10. Here is a close up wedge: probably the location for a warning sensor. Jari
  11. How it happened: https://www.twz.com/air/ea-18g-growler-killed-a-houthi-mi-24-hind-with-an-agm-88e-anti-radiation-missile Jari
  12. Here is another item: plus a look at the aft canopy: Jari
  13. Photos of the last moments: Jari
  14. Hi Jeroen I went thru several manuals and didn't find any definate location of the spent rounds box, but here are a couple of images, first one shows with the ammo magazines instead of belts: the only photo showing the aft guns: No views of the bottom of the chute area with the box. Jari
  15. Here are the instructions for both: https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/6/7/5/146675-37-instructions.pdf https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/8/2/103182-86-instructions.pdf Jari
  16. I don't think there would be any reason to black out the nose windows, most other night bombers had clear noses not just for the bomb sight but to keep a look out for other aircraft, looking at the terrain below for landmarks to get where they were going, etc. Here are some Mosquitos getting Cookies: https://www.aviacaoemfloripa.com.br/2011/02/mosquitos-e-as-bombas-de-4000-libras.html?showComment=1443102371325#c6279365585236345348 Jari
  17. Looks like this Recce Voodoo pilot gives his approval: another one checking a camera: Jari
  18. Here is a AD-4 with the AERO pylons on the wings, although the stub pylon is still the smaller one: The caption: Ordnancemen fixing bombs on the racks of a U.S. Navy Douglas AD-4 Skyraider during the Korean War on 25 November 1952. The aircraft belonged to attack squadron VA-75 Sunday Punchers of Carrier Air Group Seven (CVG-7) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31), which was deployed to Korea from 20 May 1952 to 8 January 1953. Jari
  19. Part Two: three yellow rings for Tritonal, one for TNT: Jari
  20. Here are some Korean war bomb examples: Jari
  21. Some Halifax info and photos to ponder over while we wait for the kit: https://www.silverhawkauthor.com/post/canadian-warplanes-3-handley-page-halifax Jari
  22. It's a MER-200P: Lt - 196.9" Width - 22.7" Ht - 17.4" Jari
  23. I think it was called a MER-200 or MER-2000 but it never went into production as the CFT got pylons to carry enough bombs. Here is another F-15 with the MERs: Jari
  24. Great work Dan, if you want to add to the base try these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3305368 Jari
