1/144 Tornado IDS LRMTS Pods - Retrowings

Retrowings continues to release new 1/144 additions and conversions,
The pack includes : (3x)Three clear resin LMRTS pods to add to the Revell or Dragon 1/144 kits. (the idea being you keep the lens portion free of paint)

The RAF Tornado IDS aircraft are fitted with a Laser Range Finder and Marked Target Seeker (LRMTS). This consists of a laser that is used to measure the slant rang of a point on the ground relative to the aircraft; this information is used to calculate targeting.

The LRMTS sensor can be used to receive reflected laser energy from a third-party laser, allowing the crew to find targets marked by troops on the ground or other aircraft
(source: wiki)

See these photos that show the LRMTS as used (only) on the RAF and RSAF IDS Tornado Variants

Allies jet power: Target Das Reich
Available: Mar 2010
Price: $68 (USD) + $10(USD) Shipping

http://www.anigrand.com/AA4046_XB-46.htm

Anigrand web link is not working for this kit, but the assumption would be that there will be bonus aircraft!?

http://www.anigrand.com/future_releases.htm

The Convair XB-46 was a single example of an experimental medium jet bomber developed in the mid-1940s but which never saw production or active duty. In 1944 the U.S. War Department was aware of aviation advances in Nazi Germany and issued a requirement for a range of designs for medium bombers weighing from 80,000 to more than 200,000 pounds (36,000 to over 90,000 kg). Consolidated Vultee Aircraft (Convair) responded with their Model 109, a 90,000 pounds (41,000 kg) design which was accepted by the USAAF in November 1944 and designated as the B-46. Other designs resulting from this competition included the North American XB-45, the Boeing XB-47 and the Martin XB-48.

1/144 F-Toys Eurofighter - Photos by Mehusla

Mehusla has sent some interesting photos of the the recent Eurofighter Series.

Here for your perusal is the RSAF Eurofighter and the Italian Tornado (special colour)

I know a few people have had their doubts over this line up, but people are warming to them.
The fittings and tolerance of the casting is tight, so there should be few loose or wobbly bits!

The wing fittings on the Tornado are such that they allow free movment of the 'swing wing' or 'variable geometry' there is also sufficient gap to ensure that the act of moving the wings does not scrape the paint, as has been encountered on some previous Cafe Reo/F-Toys series.

If you like the pictures from Mehusla more can be seen at the "Battle Anthems Gallery" > Here<> Here < at "144 Direct"
