The Italeri 1/72nd scale Jaguar A has four-shot rocket pods with a square cross section.
Anyone know who make the real ones and what other aircraft and countries might use them? I vaguely recall a Viggen cutaway with something like those among the weapons.
Matra usually makes rocket armaments for the French (they're a division of the huge conglomerate DaimlerChrysler now). The Viggen carries Bofors rockets. I know the Matra packs are also carried by Mirage F1s and maybe Mirage III/Vs and/or 2000s. I think I've seen Buccaneers carry Matra packs...possibly Tornados as well. In theory the BAC Lightning could take them in place of their usual air-to-air missiles but I haven't actually seen this.
Other ideas: Vautour Super Mystere A-4 Skyhawk (in Israeli service or other Third World air arms) Etendard/Super Etendard British Phantoms Kfir, Cheetah, Pantera
Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I think the Matra pods are the round 19 or 17-shot type with the pointed nose. These are four rockets in a square box with a pointed nose. Does Matra make those as well?
