The APX-95 has an IR sensor and a camera plus a few other things to simulate a Sidewinder, R-73, R-60, or other IR missile as needed.

Chasing the ultimate build.

Bronto, I got the Hasegawa F-16N for my aggressor collection.  I didn't know tamiya had done the aggressor.

I have the following that need the pod

Monogram F5 - done

ESCI KFIR - in progress

Hasegawa A-4E

Hasegawa F-18A

Thanks,

John

If you get Tamiya 61106 F-16C/N "Aggressor / Adversary"  the kit comes with those marking and the pod already

Some years ago I picked up a A.C.M.I. pod that I wanted to put on a F-106.  Back in the 80s, when the sustem was new, the pods were white.  Make sure of what color you need it to be.

Looks like there's a pair in Hasegawa'sWeapons Set D (LGB's & smart weapons) Not sure if you'd want to buy the set just for those, but hey, you can never have too many bombs, right?

I believe it is part of the electronics package.  Anyhow, looking to convert a couple planes to aggressors and want to see if these are available in 1/48.  If not, not too hard to scratch build. 

Thanks,

John
