LF: 48th scale AIM-26 Falcon missiles
Rickshaw:
I am looking for some 1/48 scale AIM-26 Falcon missiles. I need six in total. I am aware that Maestro models in Sweden make some resin ones but I'd prefer to work in plastic. Even one would be appreciated (if absolutely necessary I'll mould my own).

I have some AIM-4D and -4G Falcons from the Hasegawa set in 1/48. Will those work?

Squadron's True Details product line used to offer a very decent resin 1:48th scale AIM-26 shape for sale but it now appears to be unavailable which makes no sense at all. Search for and try to network on-line to source a pair of these, you might get lucky and find some closer to home.

The physical size differences between the two Falcons is not so much on the length as it is on the girth. Very little of the smaller in diameter AIM-4 could be used to create the lager in diameter and very "spindle" shaped body of the AIM-26. Might be worth a shot to try and kit bash the AIM-4 with an AIR-2 Genie and even then it is going to need a lot of sculpting to get it right.

The -4G will work just fine, as its similar to the shape I'm after. I'll send you a PM with details.

Seven years on since this topic was created. Often wondered over the past couple of years about the availability of the True Details AIM-26 AAM kit as it has not been offered for quite some time now. Called Squadron this afternoon to inquire about the item and was given what I think is an honest reply. Item did not sell enough, moulds broke down too soon and product was discontinued because of these reasons. A shame now that there are still two 48th scale kits that coiuld and did carry the AIM-26/RB-27 IRL (F-102 and J-35 Draken) now available but now no AIM-26/RB-27 shapes to use with either kit. Maybe someone will get motivated to create a 3D printed model one of these days.
