Dave Roof 857 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) This set includes two empty LAU-68F/A pods. The F/A is 11 inches longer than the LAU-68D/A and is used exclusively with the 2.75 APKWS rockets. Pod is used by the F/A-18, AV-8B, AH-1Z, UH-1Y, A-10, F-16 and a number of other aircraft. Pods are 3D printed and come ready to paint and attach to your model (no casting blocks or supports to remove). https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl32-2012-lau-68fa-apkws-empty Edited June 16, 2020 by Dave Roof RNoAF, Isar 30/07, Vulcan and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites

It looks too short to be the F/A. More than likely a D/A (if the AF uses the same pod designations as the USN/USMC). I do have the shorter LAU-68 coming though.

Jake Jake, I'm working on the rockets, APKWS and warheads now. If they work as planned, you'll assemble each rocket (the components can be painted separately) and simply slide them in the tube. Hoping to have the first test prints done by the end of the week. Pete Fleischmann and blackbetty 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
