LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 OK, if time allows, I plan to do an NVA SA-2 from any one of dozens of AA batteries used throughout the conflict. Kit is the spiffy Trumpeter offering. This photo is from an already started kit, but I intend to order a brand new one for this effort, which I will show once I've received it.
LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 My primary references will be these two books, both from Osprey. Red SAM: The SA-2 Guideline Anti-Aircraft Missile F-105 Wild Weasel vs SA-2 "Guideline" SAM: Vietnam 1965-73
LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Awesome! We're going to need more ECM pods!!! Paul And Standard ARMs.
Sharkmouth Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Some reference photographs if you're so inclined to do extra detailing: Click image to visit Part 1 Click image to visit Part 2. Regards,
LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Not real sure if I'll add extra stuff or not. Still to be determined.
dutik Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 No need to buy references at the first step. There are some online walkarounds. Like these. Have a look and take your choice. When looking for printed references you might have a look at WWPs No. 9 bool "Zil-157", which has sections about the S-75, the launcher, trailer, radar and other stuff too. I have it on the shelf, looks usable if you want to go wild with detailling. Regards - dutik
LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 OK, kit ordered; should be here in a week or so.
marauderdriver Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks Kevin, I need a little back-up around here...............So many Targets..........So few SAM'S watch'in you jack
LSP_K2 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 No need to buy references at the first step. Regards - dutik I'm not buying them, I already have them.
LSP_K2 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 There are some online walkarounds. Like these. Regards - dutik Excellent. Bookmarked for reference.
P Stoner Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 We're gona need a F-4G or 105G! The bad guys have phone poles everywhere now! Paul
LSP_K2 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Well I'm still not sure if I'm completely in or not; received this yesterday, opened it just now, and this was not what i expected to find. (Got it for a good price though, so I really can't complain too much.) I'll check and see if one of my other launchers is un-started, that way perhaps I can use this missile with one of those and get started building soon, using this truck with one of the other missiles later.
marauderdriver Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Hey Kevin, Is that PE set for the missile or the transporter? We gonna have a hard time shooting at all dem YAP's without a launcher watch'in you jack
LSP_K2 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Hey Kevin, Is that PE set for the missile or the transporter? jack Yes. Oddly, I ordered the missile on launcher, but was sent this kit, with the Eduard stuff already inside, all for the price of the Missile itself.
