Rb 02 and Rb 08.
|
| I dived in to the spare part boxes to find some parts to build a Rb 02. It is a drone from Nord Aviation, the CT-20. |
|
The SAAB Rb 08 anti-ship missile was developed from the smaller Rb 02 drone and I decided to build one of those as well. As I'm building with the help of photos and some measurement only it will not be 100% correct. Here I am working on the fins for them. The Rb 08 anti-ship missile had foldable wings. I haven't decided if I should fold the wings on my Rb 08. |
| I painted The Rb 02 with a Day Glo Red from Lifecolor and cut some plastic card for a small simple base. |
| Nord Aviation CT-20 used in Sweden as the Rb 02. |
| Next it was time for the Rb 08 anti-ship missile. |
| The problem is how to display it. One option is on a metal rod "flying", another is to build a part of the missile launcher. I wanted the launcher, but the original is a double mount and rather complicated and I don't want to build it. I was thinking on just a launch rail but then again didn't know how to display it. |
| Just put it straight down on the table didn't feel right but now I have decided on something. I built a lookalike of the launcher from pictures. I have no measurements of it, so it isn't correct. |
| I put the launch rail on the top of a sign and let it have a slight slope like the original. I think it might come out OK with some paint. |
| As a late thought I decided to add the air bottles at the front. The sledge is also finished and at this point is movable. |
| But in the end, everything will be glued together. I have also fixed the stabilizer that I mounted upside down. As the sledge will be the same colour as the missile it wasn't a big setback. |
| The SAAB Rb 08 Anti-Ship Missile |
| So, I think my missile phase is over. I was very close to an F6F Hellcat drone frenzy but I didn't go in to that. |
