LF 1/48 Prowler or Growler ECM Pod

AeroplaneDriver · February 15, 2018, 05:56:27 PM

So Im making my way through my second build since getting back into the hobby. It's another RW build...Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ.

But Im getting bored with RW abd this kit has inspired a Whif!

My idea is an F-16 with a pod modified so the Ram Air Turbine powers the generator that powers the laser cannons mounted on the wingtips. It's not easy modifying captured alien technology but we managed, and it gave us a chance of survival in the 2020 invasion....

If anyone can help out with a spare pod (just one, asymetric load with fuel on the other side) it would be much appreciated. Can pay via paypal or the new Zelle system.

Thanks guys!

Hasegawa Prowler found. Probably eighties judging by the finish. How much would you like of it and where does it need to be.
Serious oven cleaner will be required.

That would be a 1/72nd Prowler, Nicks after a 48th pod which maybe found in an Airfix Prowler kit or an F-18G kit

Larger than 1:72. It's about 15 inches long overall. Pods are about four inches long. Airfix it may be but 1982 is reasonably a long time ago.

Thanks Runway? If it's from the Airfix 1/48 Prowler it would be perfect. All I need is the EW pod (or maybe two in case I screw one up.

I'll PM the address. Let me know how I can pay you.

Many thanks!
