Vince G Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks for letting me into your world. I was a huge modeler as a kid and have always dabbled in the hobby. I have decided to dive back in due to the increasing number of large scale planes available now. These seem to be a perfect match for my fat fingers and poor vision. The first kit I am going to tackle is Trumpeter's 1/32 AV-8B Harrier II. I am going to go straight from the box just to get back in the modelling groove. I have done a lot of reading about this kit's shortcomings. Of all the issues the only one I feel I will have problem with is the lack of launch rails for the Sidewinders and Mavericks. I have been unable to find any aftermarket rails and there is nothing on eBay. What are my options? Thanks and I look forward to being a member at LSP.

Kagemusha Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi Vince, firstly Hopefully these will suit your maverick needs, there's probably suitable Sidewinder rails in something like the Academy F-16 kits, hopefully someone with the knowledge will post soon, you could then post a request in the Traders Board, though you'll need to have made five posts before you're allowed. Happy hunting! Andy Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Welcome Vince, that’s a very positive first post! You’ll love it here, there are some very “nice” people on the forum who are generous in very many ways. It’s a great hobby; these troubling Covid times have highlighted many people who don’t know what to do with the spare time on their hands which in turn can lead to all sorts of problems. Dive in!

Rick Griewski Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 This place is great. I had the same question 2 months ago. I did some research and for some reason did not ask the group. Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONG Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Vince First of all welcome I have several 1/32 Academy F-18's (10) I can throw together some rails for you and a few other surprises just give me a couple of days. If that sounds good PM me your address. Don Kagemusha, LSP_K2 and Lothar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
