denders Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I thought I had this information but I don't remember where I found it. So, what was the rocket pod used by the Misty F-100Fs? LAU-59/A? Along with that, does anyone know of dimensions or does someone make on in 1/48? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi, Indeed, typically they used such a seven rockets pod under each wing tip pylon. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/195816/misty-facs/ Hth Thierry LSP_K2 and Daniel Leduc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Brown Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) For my 1/48 Misty build, I robbed some 7-shot pods from the Tamiya A-1J Skyraider kit. One of the Hasegawa weapons sets also includes a set. Ben Edited August 10, 2021 by Ben Brown Got the wrong LAU LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 LAU-3 are 19 tube pods. Jari LSP_K2 and Ben Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Kevin, thanks but as Jari mentions those are 19 shot pods and all the photos that I remember the Misty F-100Fs carried 7 shot pods. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Right, sorry. I have the nagging feeling that somebody did them as AM items, with beautiful warheads/body that extended from the tube as they're supposed to, but I can't recall who it was or what scale either. Fisher did some gorgeous 4-shot pods, but of course that won't really help you much, as they're the wrong scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Perhaps this will help? Though I don't know if it's the specific pod that you seek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thanks, Kevin. I think True Details might have done something similar, after poking around on Scalemates. That is more dimensional data than I had found so far. It looks pretty similar and would probably look good. There seems to be enough info to scratch build a couple too. If I scratch one, I could cast a couple resin copies. I had experimented with resin copies quite a few years ago. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi, You're lucky as it looks ICM is releasing right now a set of Vietnam Era 1/48 weapons including similar rocket launchers! Hth Thierry LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
