I've made a minor discovery if you're looking for a Bosbok in 1/100 scale.

Fantastic! That's a great tip and I wouldn't have believed you if I hadn't seen the photo of the finished result.

I was hoping you'd see the post. I had a feeling you'd appreciate it.

I can't find any pictures of the underwing load out of the Bosbok though.

I did see one with a small, cylindrical rocket pod under each wing for smoke (WP?) rockets.

"The SAAF's Bosboks had four underwing hardpoints from which a variety of ordnance could be hung, including machine gun pods, light bombs and smoke-rocket pods. Each of the two inner hardpoints was stressed for a 170 kg (375 lb) load, with the two outer points being stressed for a 91 kg (200 lb) load." Wikipedia (verified with other sources)

It would be nice to see a picture of this.
