My stash just grew again 2021

Some things, however, are a bit of a mystery. What is this, f.i? The white thing, looking like something half bomb, half missile. And there's 24 of them.

Could be AGM-69 SRAMs, especially if you got 24 of them (three bay loadout on a B-1B, 8 per rotary launcher)

[AeroplaneDriver]

I see some good stuff in that haul!  Kormorans...Durandals...good stuff.  As for the mystery munition...looks too small/skinny for a SRAM.  Almost like a poor representation of a Rockeye CBU..?

[Gondor]

ASRAM is my bet, Advanced Short Range Air-to-air Missile

Looks about the right size and shape, but I could also be wrong.

Thanks, lads, but I'm still not convinced. The AGM-69 seems to be fatter and generally bigger.  For the rest, see below.



From the top:
- Sidewinder
- ASRAAM
- Rockeye
- Mystery munition.

All in 1/72.

[Gondor]

Pass, sorry 

Your correct though, an AGM-69 is way bigger.

Mystery munition??   This is an opportunity not a problem. Spackman's second law applies.  Use the backstory to define the munition however you wish.  Is it, for instance, missile developed by  Pellson Ingenjörsvetenskap Aktie Bolag?   PIAB are (perhaps) a secretive Swedish defence organisation  with links to Whiffery Engineering  PLC in the UK.

You could start a small war with that lot!

You do have a point, but I'm still awfully curious to what it really was supposed to represent. As one is, I suppose.

You are now condemned to pour through books, to spend hours on Google Images, trying to identify it...

My bet is that these are leftover HVARs from the Airfix/Heller A-1 Skyraider, probably from two kits.
They are VERY fat for what they are supposed to be, but size and shape on the pics fit as well as the white plastic and the attachment slot. 

I used them under a Saab Lansen some time ago as training missiles:

Yup, that looks really close. And a bit disappointing. 
I think I'll have to do something more serious about it, applying Spackmans 2nd law, because using these as rockets.... Nah..

Looking at it from a French perspective, it seems they're too big to be BAP100/BAT120's. I dug out the HobbyBoss Jaguar A I bought just for the load included, which is awesome (re the aircraft itself, I don't know. The canopy seems to be too wide, but..)

Anyway - looking at the included set of BAT/BAP's, our ex-mystery munition seems reasonably shaped to pack up like the BAT/BAP's, so maybe a French equivalent to the Brimstone missiles?



From the top:
- Durandal (got 4 in the haul)
- Brimstone
- Ex-mystery munition
- BAP100/BAT120 (the three-pack on the sprue)

This just got really intriguing, methinks.. 

Thanks a lot for putting me out of the misery anyway, Thomas. Much appreciated! 
Oh - I obviously had to look over that Lansen again. It's a beauty!

[Dizzyfugu]

Thank you, glad to help. There's another Heller Lansen in The Stash™ to be whiffed some day into a fictional J32E...

[PR19_Kit]

Oooooh Lansens! 

Be still my beating heart! I just ADORE the look of the Lansen, but I've only evert built one, and that was decades ago.

I really ought to do a few more of them, perhaps with different engines or longer wings...............

Or "different engines AND longer wings"!

[Dizzyfugu]

Sounds like a GB idea...
