Aggie pod

Very big thanks bud!! looks like a modified A-37 fuel tanks...

Thanks a lot!!

Really a modified napalm canister.

Those are stock kit items in 1/48 and in 1/32 there are resin ones.

Thanks but im building a 1/72 Viper... I will remove the wings from the A-37's (academy 72nd) wing tanks.. are the pod colors are customized? or they have designated colors in every unit?

The unit that brought this pod (The 149th FW) said they had several customized pods, depending on which Univiserity they went to visit (They were doing a flyover at an A&M game the next day). I'm guessing also it has to do with alumni in the unit.

I painted three pods for the 93FS some years back, each for a different commander with a distinctive color scheme. The General ‘s was all metal flake blue with a silver star on each side, the OPS commander was black with a silver checker board on each end, and the OG commander was the wing colors of blue and red. I painted the names in silver on each one.
The maintenance guys wanted something special made so I presented my ideas to the maintenance officer and he pretty much said go for it.

oh i see... i dont know what color to be used when i build mine..

is there a 72nd kit of this?? wow... what manufacturer??

Hasegawa 1/72 Aircraft Weapons :1 U.S. bombs and rocket launchers # X72-1
They have 2X BLU-27 napalm bombs.
All you have to do is remove the fins on the back and scribe in a door on the side and you have a travel pod.

If you can't find it send me a PM with address, I'll send you one.

Same thing, the original pods were napalm tanks, with a door and some extra bracing installed. Now they have a new one that looks the same on the outside, so what you have will work.
Here's a couple of picture of one of the pods I painted for the 93FS.

Nice pair huh Very Happy
