Not sure which forum to use....

I've just snaffled couple of long-term wants to whif
namely a
BAe 146-200 1/72 &
Boeing 757 1/144


I've looked at Freightdog site and Big H, but I can't find inflight refuelling wing pods in either scale.
Question is
Do I scratchbuild or are they available in either/both scale?
if so where from?

The old Airfix VC-10 in it's tanker version has two underwing pods, 1/144 scale.

Where did you get a 1/72nd BAe-146 from?

Where did you get a 1/72nd BAe-146 from?

Welsh Models have one listed under their 1/72 Executive Prop & Jet Series, but it's still 'TBA' on their web site.

A pair of buddy pods from a Bucc or similar would work for the 146 maybe. I think someone does them in resin, but darned if I know who.

I have a couple of VC-10 pods. As it's not the first request for 1/144 refueling pods I've seen, maybe it'd be worthwhile to make some resin copies.

Freightdog, they do the Douglas and the Buccaneer one

Heritage do the Victor Pods

Hawkeye Models do the RAAF Boeing 707 tanker conversion in both 1/144 and 1/72

Revell/Matchbox 1:72 Victor has the pods too.

Owing to my rank I have direct contact with General Advice, and he says "scratch build them and have fun" That is all.

[PR19_Kit]

That'd be General Advice Actual then?

I knew him when he was a mere Cadet.

I seem unable to get any further up the chain of command than Major F**kup.

[Old Wombat]

I keep getting calls from Private Numbers but every time I try to complain I seem to end up with Corporal Punishment, which always leads to Mayor Payne and General Mayhem.

You won't believe it but I once served with with a Private Ey (pronounced "eye")! 

She was a nice lass too.  Everytime the roll was called, the joke never got old. 

[PR19_Kit]

Was she 'easy on the eye' too? 

[NARSES2]

My dad had a mate called Jimmy Duck and yes you can guess what he called his son 

Caused so many problems with the "Old Bill" when down places like Margate on a Bank Holiday Monday that he changed it by deed poll when he was old enough
