razo+r Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I assume this is the safety pin for the Wingtip launcher that is still stuck in place. Not a big issue of course (unless you want to model that).
mseraser Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) PL8 on J-11B airborne photo. This pin works in a different way, actually you need to remove it while loading the missile, and plug it back before takeoff, so it's correct modeled here. Edited January 2, 2020 by mseraser
razo+r Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 Ah okay, nice to know. So instead of a safety pin, it's like an arm pin?
mseraser Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Ah okay, nice to know. So instead of a safety pin, it's like an arm pin? Yes, also there's a handle for lock/unlock. It's a bit complex and confusing. PLAAF have change it to more simply & regular " safety pin remove before flight" way on new equip.
