Small Scale Military Headquarters

I got my hands on a AAQ-14 Targeting pod from the F14 Black Knights and made a mold. While looking for reference pictures I came across some F16 using the AAQ-14 and AAQ-13 pods. I guess my question is, Would there be any interest in a set of these for the F16? I was thinking in the ballpark of $35 for a set.

I’d be in for a set.

Absolutely !! I was just talking about these, and other items for the F-16, with someone on the 1/18th scale Facebook page yesterday. Would the head on the AN / AAQ-14 be moveable and rotate like the Black Knight version ??
Just a FYI Nathan, the top pic is of a Greek F-16 I believe. We don't have a pod like that one, on the port side, in our inventory.
We could also use a AN / ASQ-213HTS (HARM Targeting System) pod and pylon but then you'll need AGM-88's to go with it.
A AN / ALQ-131 ECM pod (short version) and, a AN / ALQ-184 pod (long version).
A AN / AAQ-33 SNIPER-XR pod and pylon would also be a welcome edition.
LAU-129 wingtip launcher rails so we can move the AIM-120's to the wingtips, like most F-16's carry them today but, then we need better AIM-120's as well.

Does somebody knows if the Lantirn (AAQ-13?) has also been mounted on the F/A-18? Thank you for the answer, Chris

That's a small laundry list. LOL Let's see how these do and go from there.

I don't believe so Chris. The Hornet uses the following pods:
AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR
AN/AAS-38 "NiteHawk"
AN/AAQ-28, this is carried on the centerline station with a pylon.

HA HA, well I figured if your going to be making items, it's all or nothing.
Sounds good, looking forward to the pods Nathan.
Don't forget to get in touch with my bud, Ed Miranda about the A-4.

Steve,
"Would the head on the AN / AAQ-14 be moveable and rotate like the Black Knight version ??"
Yes, It's the same pod as the JSI Black Knights.


How's the AIM-120 looking? Do you have any good pictures of the LAU-129 wingtip launcher rails?:

Nathan, I sent you an email.

AIM-120 and LAU-129 Rail for BBI F16 $25+sh
They will be raw white resin. No paint or primer.

WOW Nathan, they look really good !! These will be a welcome addition to my F-16.

Steve

Great work on the parts Nathan, thanks again. These will look really good on my F-16. I'll need to fabricate the "stubby" pylon for stations 2 and 8 so I can move my resin AIM-9's under the wings.

Steve

Another "upgrade" for my F-16, a AN/AAQ-33 Sniper XR pod, pylon and, hardback. Along with Nathan's AIM-120B's and LAU-129 rails my jet will look a lot better. Very well done Nathan, thanks again.
