WANTED: items from Haegawa 1/72 Aircraft Weapons: I US Bombs & Rocket Launchers

[KiwiZac]

Hi all,
I'm seeking some items from this Hasegawa set (or equivalents from other manufacturers: can you help?
Haegawa 1/72 Aircraft Weapons: I US Bombs & Rocket Launchers by Zac Yates, on Flickr

I'm after:

x4 Mk.82 bombs with "daisy cutter" fuse extenders

Can you help with any of these? Decals would be welcome but are not essential. And before anyone suggests the obvious: I can/t afford the whole set right now but am happy to help with postage costs.

I'd love to hear from you!

Let me check. I'm in the Chicago Illinois USA so if somebody is closer?

[Gondor]

I can help but as kerick says let's see if there is someone closer that can help first.

Don't have any surplus parts, but here's a couple of alternate sources:

-Hasegawa's old tool (70's vintage, not 60's vintage, mind you) F-4E boxings have 2x MXU-648 travel pods (empty BLU-27 canisters were/are actually used for this purpose - these are without tail fins, but those were often not fitted anyway). Might be on the sprues of also some other F-4 old tool boxings they have, but at least they're present in this particular boxing: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-e5-mcdonnell-douglas-f-4e-phantom-ii--1019202

-Esci's A-4E has 2x rocket pods with the nose cones but without tail cones (note: only in A-4E boxings which have an extra sprue compared to their A-4F kits)

Academy A-37 kits have the rocket pods and the napalm tanks.  Even the Black Eagles display team boxing.

Thank you gents! I've been asking local friends without much luck.

I don't necesarily need fins on the BLU-27s - but it seems wrong somehow to have a Spad without them!

I have a couple of built A-37s so I'll see what I can scavenge!!

The fuse extenders on the 500 pounders would be easy to scratch with some plastic rod. It was just a pipe filled with explosive.

How many of each do you want Zac?

Hi Gondor,
I've found some napalm thanks to kerick pointing out the A-37 used them, so I'm after x4 LAU-3 rocket pods with front caps and x4 Mk.82 bombs with "daisy cutter" fuse extenders. It doesn't seem I have any Mk.82s at all so I can't scratch the extenders.

If anyone happened to have any 1/72 VNAF Skyraider decals...I should probably start another thread for that.

I might be able to help with the decals as well but I will have to check.

Just checked the stash and found that I can't help with the parts

Will keep looking for the decals though.

That's okay! I have a lead on the parts :-) Thank you for your searching! And I have my fingers crossed for the decals.

It's a bit of an issue for me though as it means I have no spares for myself either. However I am watching a set on eBay so I will sort that.

[KiwiZac]

No, if you have plans for them then please keep them! No sense in buying another set if you already have some :-)
