I am part way through a project for S.H.A.D.O, and I need some jet engine pods. A pair of the pods fitted to a B-58 Hustler would fit the bill, or a set of pods built for high speed, and no shorter than 70 mm long and not too much longer if possible.The aircraft will be supersonic and have podded  twin jet engines built into the wings. I am in the UK. but if any of our overseas brethren have anything, I am more than willing to pay postage etc.
Cheers,
Chris.

Sorry I don't have any but have you considered making them?  1/48 fuel tanks with the ends cut off worked well for me.  Combine with some small burner cans and file the intake lips down and off you go.

I have spare TF30 /F100 engines, including compressor faces, and afterburners.  If you fancy wrapping them in plasticard as Kerick suggested to make your pods then you are welcome to them!

Now there is something I didn't think of Kerick, cheers for that idea. I don't have any suitable drop tanks though so would need some of those too. Hya Jay, any bits that you can spare would be great please mate. That certainly opens up my options a bit more  :cheers:
