I recently purchased a couple of The Launch Pad kits, that are available
once again, through Performance Hobbies, including the Bullpup and Alarm.
The kits are nice, but there is no information on the proper cross-sectional
shape for the fins for scale appearance.
I Googled "Alarm", and did find some pictures of the real missile, but none
with enough resolution to see the necessary detail of the fins. I did not
find any detailed reference drawings. Does anyone know the correct detain
is for the Alarm missile?
I did the find drawing Peter Alway has at
yelloowjacketsystems.com/alway/images/bullpup.gif for the Bullpup, and the
rear mounted fins have square leading and training edges. Is this typical
of most military missiles?
Does anyone know of a good general reference for scale details for military
missiles? Books in or out of print?
Thanks,
TomF

I don't even recall if that depiction is correct, or an artifact of the
conversion to a low-resolution GIF file. That is certainly not a typical
missile fin cross-section.
