Title: Typhoon Loadout, pt2 - Rockets + 1 Drop Tank
Post by: Mystery on May 28, 2011, 12:52:52 PM

HTC was good enough to grant a recent Typhoon loadout addition: 4 rockets + two drop tanks. A most versatile loadout indeed; thank you HiTech Creations.  :salute

Another interesting loadout for the Typhoon Ib is shown below.

Six rockets plus a single 44 gallon drop tank.

HTC, any chance we could have this as an option for the Typhoon? It certainly appears as though it was employed operationally.

Hopefully this satisfies the "pictures or it didn't happen" contingent  :)

Notice it says in the caption, if you read it, says the arrangment was uncommon.
