Not sure if this is the right place to ask this.

How many exocets come with the Airfix 1/72 Super Etendard?

Thanks

The real thing could only carry two maximum, and then not very far. I've got an Airfix one somewhere, can I find it to count for you? No......  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I Have a feeling its just the one with a drop tank to balance the aircraft but I may be wrong

Normal load is one Exocet, carried asymetrically with a drop tank.

I wonder What an exocet/buccaneer combination would have been like?

Well the Exocet is a little hevier than Sea Eagle, but I still think a Bucc could carry four.
