Avenger rocket rails

Post by JimBob55 » Sat Aug 26, 2006 3:56 pm

I made up a set of the earlier MK-4 70-inch rocket rails for my Atlantic Avenger, without rockets. These were installed on the TBM-1s and -1Cs for ASW use, before the MK-5 "zero-length" launchers (like the ones included with the 21C TBM) were used.

I thought this would be a nice contrast to the standard rockets that will be included with the other 21C Avengers.

I may post some information on the reference page on these racks.
