Eagle has released the Israeli-build Popeye missile and datalink pod.
Developed as an anti-shipping missile, the Popeye was carried by IAF F-4E
Phantom II aircraft. The USAF realizing that it needed to have an anti-shipping
capability, imported the Popeye, designating it the AGM-142, and modified
the B-52 fleet to carry it (talk about your long-range patrol aircraft!).
Eagle has produced the Popeye in 1/72 and 1/48, so you can arm your birds
a little differently than the other aircraft on your shelf (or at the
local contest for that matter).
You can see their full line-up of products on the
Eagle Designs website and you can reach them at
