P-47D HVAR stub launchers?? - HyperScale Forums - Tapatalk 5 inch HVAR used zero length launchers, initially pairs of rockets mounted between the undercarriage and the wing shackles on P-47, that is directly under the guns, which could be fired with the rockets on board, the gunsight needed a different setting to aim the rockets 16 July 1944, 9th Air Force, the 370th FG P-38 first use of napalm
French rocket identification help requested - NavWeaps Forums The top one is almost certainly the USN's 5" HVAR, being 5" diameter and 61kgs in weight Can't help with the other 2, except that it looks like they'll fit in the Matra Type 13 rocket pods, with the bottom one looking as if it might be an air to ground rocket
Suggestion - Set to convert Tamiya 1 48 P-38J to a P-38L Compressiblity dive flaps under the wings (can you say photoetch?), leading edge landing light, fuel pump bumps under the wing and HVAR trees under the wings It also doesn't appear that Tamiya themselves ever plan on releasing a P-38L on their own
Explain to me like I am 5. . . part 2 on the 1 32 Hasegawa P-47M. The D-30 had the normal D style smooth cast reduction housing Again, not familiar with the Hasegawa kit, but an M had the flat cockpit floor, where the D-30 probably had the earlier corrugated style (not 100% sure on that) Most, if not all D-30s also came from the factory with the two HVAR stub launchers inboard of the wing pylons
Did you know that Robert L. Scotts Old Exterminator might . . . He went back to China as an advisor with the General Staff (working for Arnold, not Chennault) to instruct the 14th AF in the use of HVAR rockets The uniform shirt and service cap both appear to be late war issue
