Into territory I'm not familiar with… I have a sea cobra coming in the post for my Iranians, I understand Maverick missiles were used for CAS, but can't find any pictures of the actual weapon load. Do I assume its one missile per side (pylon) (as apposed to two sets of four for other missiles?) Any help, corrections appreciated. |

Not sure about the Iranians, but it has been fired from a US Supercobra. link Is that of any help? |

From what I have read the IRIAA Cobras don't have Maverick capabilty. I certainly don't rememer seeing it discussed on the ACIG forum and those guys tend to ape whenever Iran does anything new Update I have just talked to a much more knowledgeable friend who states that IRIAA AH-1's were fitted with Mavericks during the 1980-88 war with some success. He isn't sure about the fit but feels that one per side would be a good bet. That will ieach me to post before I know what I am Talking about:-( Fatman |

Thanks guys, appreciated. I will need to make/convert a 15mm Maverick so we are a while away at the moment, but I'll post up my initial build to check I have the right attachment points, or at least the right looking attatchment points! |

15mm Maverick should be pretty simple, start with 3mm plastic rod for the body. |
