Pylons baby! Yeah Pylons!

Does anyone have a foolproof way to make pylons, missile rails, bomb racks and the like?
I got a heller kit that is a collection of NATO weapons but their are no hardpoints with them.
I need to mount my Super 530s and Exocets

Only foolproof way is to get lots of good photos and some sheet styrene and stretched sprue and start building.

If you have any old pylons or launchers in your spare parts box, that would be a way to start. Use good reference and you might be able to use them as a starting point. If not go with the above suggestion, as a starting point.

One area often neglected by builders are the sway braces used on the pylons. These can be made from plastic stock and thin wire.

Always go with good reference material before you start.
