Thursday Afternoon News
New releases now up on the site!
AGM-65F, SUU-25 Flare Dispensers, and BLU-10/B 250lb Napalm will be up tomorrow or Saturday!
I'm trying to get the AH-1 TOW launchers up before the sale ends, but that simply may not be possible. Still trying to get the angle and supports right, so they're easy to remove with as little trouble possible.
Also, our friend Nick Moore is working on GBU-24 for us, and our chief designer Peter Fidloczky has an AIM-9L/M in work. Our good friend Sandro has also shared some info on A-10 parts he's working on!
For our friends in the EU, UK, and Down Under. Large orders for The 48ers and BNA Modelworld are currently enroute. Two large restock orders are also being prepared for Hannants and those should be shipped soon.
As always, we appreciate your continued support!
Dave, Tanya and the Crew!

- FL48-8238 GBU-28 "Bunker Buster" for F-15E
This set includes 4 x GBU-28 Bunker Buster bombs with separate Air Foil Groups, 4 sets of Fins and clear lenses for the guidance section. Suspension lugs are in the correct location used when flown on the F-15E.
- FL48-8239 GBU-28 "Bunker Buster" for F-111E/F
This set includes 4 x GBU-28 Bunker Buster bombs with separate Air Foil Groups, 4 sets of Fins and clear lenses for the guidance section. Suspension lugs are in the correct location used when flown on the F-111E/F.
- FL48-8179 AGM-65E Maverick / LAU-117 with 14" suspension
This set includes 4 AGM-65E Maverick missiles with separate forward sections, 4 sets of fins, and 4 clear domes. 4 x LAU-117 launchers with 14 inch suspension lugs are also included (AV-8B, A-10, F-16).
- FL48-8180 AGM-65E Maverick / LAU-117 with 30" suspension
This set includes 4 AGM-65E Maverick missiles with separate forward sections, 4 sets of fins, and 4 clear domes. 4 x LAU-117 launchers with 30 inch suspension lugs are also included (F/A-18).
During production [FL48-8179 & FL48-8180], it was discovered that some of the LAU-117 launchers slide perfectly onto the missile, some are a tight fit, and some may require sanding of the 117's rail. A 150 grit firm sanding stick works great for this. Sand just a little at a time and test fit often.
It will also be necessary to apply a clear coat to the lens. A downside to printing clear resin is the frosting that occurs during the cleaning process. Applying a gloss clear coat fixes that issue.
