Spectre7 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi, I´m already thinking about a F-5EM conversion (brazilian current version of the Tiger II), and that includes its loadout. I know that Isracast does a very nice set of Python 4s, but... I couldn´t find any Derbys in 1/32. Does anyone produces these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Not as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomdriver Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 THey look an awful lot like Python 2/3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 In fact the Derby looks like the Atoll 2C missile that can be found in the Trumpeter MiG-21 kits. However, as it is based on the Python, the diameter should very probably be larger; the Atoll family being a Sidewinder clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi Spectre The Derby is a very clean missile aerodynamic wise with no external ridges etc. It should be easy to scratch build, Diameter is 160 mm, so a 4 mm tube is perfect. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hi Nick, I don't want to appear pedantic, but 160 mm in 1/32 is 5 mm, not 4 ... Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre7 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi fellas, Yes Thierry, I did consider the Atoll 2C from the MiG-21, but it is too thin and too short. Then I looked at my AMRAAMs, but that one is too long and too thick. In the end, I´ll probably scratchbuilt it (and I´ll need 4 of them... ). Already found 5mm tubes on ebay, and will probably use the head from an AIM-7/120. Thanks again for the ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi Hubert sorry for the error, you are right the diam is 5mm in 1/32. If you need info on the launchers etc PM me. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
