Dave Roof Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Test prints of the inboard and middle AV-8B pylons. The outboard pylon will have the option of installing the BRU-36 bomb rack or the bomb rack replacement unit, which is installed when the LAU-7 is attached. Pylons designed by Richard VanZandt using references provided by FLD. These include the A1-AV8BB-LWS-000 Weapons Stores Loading Manual for the AV-8B, A1-AV8BB-SRM-500 Structural Repair Manual, measurements and photos. blackbetty, Anthony in NZ, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Roof Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 First test print of the 1/32 LAU-33. Tubes are empty. *The small dots are where the print supports were and that is all there is to clean up. Launchers will come as shown. themongoose, Martinnfb, johncrow and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Roof Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Pre-order links are open for the AV-8B Harrier Pylons in 1/48, 1/32 and 1/18 scales. These will begin shipping in December. However, as we're currently running a 15% off sale in celebration of the Marine Corps 247th Birthday and our 15th year in business, the links were opened for those that want to take advantage of the sale. The 1/32 LAU-33 are ready to ship https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl32-2063-av-8b-weapons-pylons-for-trumpeter---pre-order https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl32-2076-lau-33--500-rocket-launcher-empty https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl18-1008-av-8b-weapons-pylons-for-hobbyboss---pre-order Chris_B-1B, Dave Williams, RNoAF and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_t Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Dave, When do you expect the LAU-33 with the rockets/HE warheads will be ready? How do these mount to the pylon on the F-4? I see that it looks like they have 3 hangars similar to an AIM-9 ....do they mount to the AIM-9 launcher rail? Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Scott Hope to have the 33 with rockets ready by the end of the month (if not sooner). Yes, they mount to either the LAU-7 or AERO-3 launchers.

Are these the same as Brit GR5/7/9 etc?? I am having a hankering to build a brit one to go with my Phantom but I heard the kit has loads of issues etc (havent looked into it), but seeing stuff like this is making me think twice about tackling one...

Cheers Anthony Seconded, was thinking this myself. @Anthony in NZ I'm looking at my references and I think for the most part it seems to bring it in line.

Aaaah ok, well I might dig a little deeper. I seem to remember a build on Britmodeller where the chap notes all the issues and corrected them. I must see if I can find it again Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that. Happy to pre-order two sets straight away as well based on the quality of the US spec ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
