thierry laurent Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi Colin, So do I. I have at least 8 Buck books but have no picture of a live missile on any airframe! Ditto on the Internet. I think the only one of a live missile I found on the web was under an Indian Sea Harrier wing! Thierry Scotsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 yup that's about the same for me , not a think , I might try the Buc thread over on Britmodeller , they're usually pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Over on Britmodeller , and consensus is EDSG , with a yellow stripe round the warhead section , but they also confirm tat pics of operational RAF Sea Eagles mounted on Bucs, or indeed anything else are very rare ... you know I do have a pic of a Hawk T1 with a SEa Eagle mounted on the centre line .. now that's a project for further down the road... and thanks fro all the assistance .. I just have to get back to the eternal Brass Origami that is the FlightPath way with missile fins! colinR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi Colin - did you get the intake update from Alan? On Sea Eagles - does the jet intake cover get blown off just before launch, or is it removed before flight? And are those aux rockets in the photos just for helicopters, or range boosters applicable to any/all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 No word on the Decals as yet , According to the guys over on Britmodeller the intake and exhaust covers were released as part of the firing process when the missile is fired so I guess that you'll never see a Sea Eagle without an intake cover while its's on the ground., unless its's under test CR thierry laurent and Chek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) just remembered this ive built the Hawk in 1/48 Edited March 6, 2020 by Mark M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The ones on the Tornado are training ones. The small black labels you see everywhere have actually the word DRILL written in white letters. The Hawk one is possibly a live one but with what looks like test calibration markings.
