Does anyone have scale data (pics or drawings) on the UK's Starstreak missile? I suspect it has flip-out fins, but can't tell whether they are flat or curved..close to body's diameter. Thanks (& just in case, "cheers!"). -- Richard "hoping those Brits come through with some scale data on this one" Hickok
Scale Data on UK's Starstreak Missile?

Hi Richard,

Used to be a Shorts of Belfast product, but now under the umbrella of the French Thales group.
Deadly short range missile in either ground launced, shoulder launched or helicopter borne variants.
Wouldn't be my first choice of scale product due to the multiple dart kill vehicles, but maybe might end up looking like that MIRV Gryphon kit that used to be available?
Hope this helps!

That is an intensely cool looking missile! It'd be fun to make a scale model that mimics the flight profile of the real thing, i.e. two-stage booster with separating darts.
ray: I was thinking the same thing....imagine the mission points you would get from a 2 stage booster and then having all 3 darts take off with say G motors airstarting...WHOA.... shockie B)
