Dave Roof Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) "This is my LAU-7. There are many like it, but this one is mine" With the assistance of fellow Ordnancemen Gerry Whitside and Bill Arndt in research, as well as Richard VanZandt in design, we are pleased to bring you the most accurate LAU-7 missile launchers to date. While there have been dozens of changes to the launcher since it was first introduced in 1958, many were internal or structural and not possible to recreate in scale. However, we have covered the main physical differences throughout its service life to add that extra bit of realism and accuracy to your scale model. At the moment, the 1/48 scale launchers are available and the 1/72 and 1/32 versions will be available soon. The ordering links for the 1/32 versions should be open by the end of this week. **Sets 40 and 41 will be LAU-7/A thru LAU-7/A-5 with the standoff adapters for USN/USMC F-4 Phantoms and are still in development.

Dragon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'm not knowledgable on which launch rails go on which aircraft, but would any of these work for a F-5E? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mike Yes and depending on the time frame, would be either the LAU-7/A-5 (038) or LAU-7/A-6 (039). Kagemusha and Dragon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
