You can add some dimension to the brass by carefully applying some epoxy to the weapons with a toothpick (do one side of the brass sheet, let it cure, then do the other side). Another method is to shape the bomb and rocket bodies from plastic rod or stretched sprue and use the fins and pylons from the brass parts. Either way, I hope you have good eyesight and steady hands. Good luck.

if you buy the Skywave S-12 modern USN aircraft set it comes with various sized drop tanks for all the planes and a few Phoenix missiles for the F-14s. All very finely molded in plastic (the planes even have pannel lines).

Thank you...

Hey, Mac:

Thanks for the tip. I actually checked the flagships PE before, but it is only 2D though. I wonder if anyone who have made the 3D weapons in such a small scale (i.e. 1:700)...

I have a 1/700 modern USN aircraft set from Flagship Models. I haven't used mine yet, but the weapons and pylons look good. The link to Flagship models is below. It's set 700-12 and there is a picture of it. Hope this helps.

1/700 Modern Aircraft Weapon Load Detail

Hi, all:

It looks like the same question again as the one I posted two days ago. I just wonder if anyone knows if there is the same weapon load detail made for 1/700 modern aircrafts as well. Although I think PE would work just fine for small aircrafts, I think it would be nice to have 3D weapons added on the drop tanks made for the 1/700 Fujimi aircrafts. Thank you all again.
