1:48 sky shadow and BOZ pod

[Steel Penguin]

Ill ask here as this is a bit of  asking for advice / parts.
Im building a 1:48 tornado F3 ( airfix early release).  i got from a gent here aboughts. after a bit of thought and sourcing a new pair of underwing tanks ( spare Jag tanks i have)  i have to decide what else to hang. 
4 under body sky flash...  check
4 under wing side winders on the tank pylons  ... check
2 overwing pylons above the tank pivots are going on ( probably more winders, unless i decide to get ALARMS from somewere) ...  thinking
I want to add the Sky shadow and Boz pods in the outer wing...  but  as this is the early boxing it dosnt have any,
SO any suggestions where i could get a set, or what i could make a resonable copy from ( ive the hasa us wepon sets A-D)  and a tonka gr1-b i could copy  from ( use siligum and some car body resin, its longwinded and can oly be done on good wether as the smell isnt something i want i n the house).

the the italeri boxing of the gr has 4 releases, 2 of the releases have 2 boz, the other 2 releases have 2 skyshaddow! shame they can put one of each in each, any way you need to get somone who has some, i havent any spare im afraid

Thanks for the fall back idea Mark.
had a rummage and a compare of shapes / sizes
for the sky shadow, i think ill be cutting 2 airfix sea eagles down and but jointing them together, and adding an intake from platicard.
for the Boz pod  the front will be the back end of a Mk 84 freefall US bomb with the engine of one of the chopped sea eagles at the back.

sound ok ish to folks as far as shapes go?   ( they dont need to be spot on, with the over wings on i can claim its a modificaton / variation.  and I may be giving it a navy coat as well,  so i can use the tail colours from either 800sqn or 899sqn that i got with the harriers that are supllying the sea eagles)

Just seen this.....I have two Airfix 1/48 tornado's.....not sure if they have what you need but if you can wait a day or two when I finish nights I'll have looksee in the loft....ud be welcome to a set if they are in the kit.......H

I've got a 1/48 Airfix Tornado too, the ONLY 1/48 scale kit I have and I have no idea why. I'll see what it came with when I get back home if all else fails for you, but that won't be for a week as I'm away on holiday just now.

I'm pretty sure the Airfix GR.1 boxing had Boz and Skyshadow.  I used to have it but I've not got those bits I'm afraid, let the weapons go some time ago.

Finish nights in the am.....I'll look when I get up.....H

Thank you Army of one, if there presant, and you dont want them id be grateful.
Kit  this ones the mara of the one youve got  i got round the no hindenberg problem 

[Army of One]

Right.....been in the loft and located one of the two kits....it don't have the pods you are after....there are some parts missing from some sprues....I know I tried to get OGL to mould some parts from this kit....the LGB's mainly...I don't remember giving him anything else from this kit....so sorry.....H

For the Skyshadow, wouldn't it be easier to get a 1/72nd drop tank (Hunter? Hawk?) then add some scoops and lumps to it?

[Steel Penguin]

Army of one.   No problems,  Thank you for looking.
Weaver  It may well be..... except...  i may have a couple of 1:72 scale tanks but the likelyhood is slim/none as ive not done 72nd for at least 20 years.  Its why i was putting forward the idea with the MK 84 and sea eagles, there what i have and are ( sorta) the right shape.
  Ive had a look at resin bits, and at getting a 2nd hand kit,  can you guess which would be cheaper?  When i mentioned this to my lovely wife the reply was " but then wouldant you have anouther  kit with-out the right bits?"  when i replyed that as id got it to bit, no  it would be chop fodder, she looked relived,  and later on sugested whiffing it into some kind of sacleoramaed biz jet.
have i said how much i love my wife

I do have a selection of 1/72 tanks.....if u post what size u want I'm happy to send if I got what ya want.....H

[Steel Penguin]

going to finish off this now, Ive made up good enough  versions for what i want,
the Boz pod is 2 Mk84s  one tail first sans fins and the nose cut off, the outher sans nose and fins butted on, plasti card aero fins and circle to seal the back, and the Sky shadow is from a drop tank that i found after a ( serious) dive  through the bits box ( thank you to both Weaver for the suggestion, and to Army of one for the offer if i couldant find one). with a couple of bits of plasti card for the emitters, cooling intake and fins.
both parts should look subtly wrong to anyone who know what there looking at  and with the extra launch rails and naval styling should hopefully through any passing JMNs in to suitable fits  .

Glad it's sorted.....
