New Releases Now Available!

FL48-8184 AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN Pod – Stowed

This set includes a single piece, more detailed and accurate LANTIRN pod to be used with any kit. Seeker head is in the stowed position.

FL48-8200 USMC F/A-18D Nose BuNo 164279 and Up

FL48-8201 USMC F/A-18D Nose BuNo 164279 and Up with AN/APX-111 IFF

FL48-8204 CF-188 Nose with Searchlight

FL48-8206 F/A-18C/D Nose with Searchlight (Swiss, Finnish, Kuwaiti)

Nose sections are hollow and are direct replacements for the kit parts. No modification to the kit is needed. 

Also included are a piece for the forward nose wheel well, 2 x pitot tubes, 1 x CN18 antenna, 2 x AOA probes, 1 x ALR-67 antenna and 1 piece to depict the vent on the bottom aft portion of door 3. 

Like most of our other items, these will be removed from the print supports prior to curing and packaging. All you will need to do is lightly sand the mating surface to remove the remnants of the support nibs.

Use kit supplied clear lens, part L11 for the searchlight. Install from the inside, then paint and attach light box before attaching nose to kit.

FL48-8209 BLU-27A/B 750lb Napalm - Rounded Fairings

FL48-8210 BLU-27A/B 750lb Napalm - Pointed Fairings

These sets includes six (6) BLU-27A/B 750lb Napalm canisters with rounded or pointed nose and tail fairings. 

3D printed in one piece (with separate MS3314 suspension lugs), these are almost ready to use right out of the package. Some light sanding to remove the remnants of the print supports will be required on the aft end, and you'll need to remove the small pin on the forward fairing and sand smooth. 

These were used extensively during the Vietnam War.
