Hi Folks. I've posted this in my build thread for my F-16, but had no response so far.

I'm mounting a targeting pod on an 1/48 F-16 WHIF I'm building, and I have a LITENING pod from a Hasegawa weapon set. However, the particular F-16 mounting for the pod has vanished into the ether.
As such, does anyone have one I can use from either the Hase weapon set, or from any other F-16 kit?

PM me if you do, I have a fair amount of 1/48 US bombs I'm never going to use all of, and a moderate smattering of other junk bits and pieces I can quite happily swap for the pylon.

Ah, thanks for the offer chap, but it's 1/48 I'm after!

I am sure there is some aftermarket producer that does either a set or individual items such as the Litening pod with pylon. Can't you scratch build one?

I probably can scratch build one, but I was aiming to save myself the trouble by asking if anyone had one to trade/get rid of first.
I also don't much fancy trying to match the curve of the F-16's chin intake by my own cack-handed scratch-building skills, when I know there's a part that will already do it. But if I can't get one, then I'll hack something together.

Looks like today is your lucky day.

I have a number of Kinetic 1/48 F-16 kits in my stash, and a few that have also been built too leaving quite a stockpile of spares and I do have a few spare LITENING and LANTIRN pods.

I will dig a set out for you and a set of the intake pylons and decals.

Drop us a PM with your address and I will post them out this weekend.
Chris.
