Description
Hydra 70 Rocket Pod – 1:48 Scale
This model represents a Hydra 70 rocket pod in 1:48 scale and was developed as a versatile addition for modern jet and helicopter models. The modular design allows the pod to be equipped with various mounts, making it suitable for different aircraft types and mission configurations.
The characteristic design of the rocket pod has been implemented as faithfully as possible, while the construction has also been optimized for reliable printing on common FDM 3D printers.
Three Mount Variants Included
The model includes a total of three different mounts that can be used depending on the aircraft and desired configuration:
- AH-64 Mount
Specifically developed for the Apache. Simultaneous mounting with the original Hellfire missiles is not possible. - Dual Mount
Allows the mounting of two pods on one station. Particularly suitable for aircraft such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet. Single Mount
For mounting a single pod. Suitable, among others, for the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, and other modern jets.
Applications
The Hydra 70 is one of the most well-known unguided rocket systems and is used by both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. With the various mounts, numerous realistic operational configurations can be displayed – from CAS missions to armed reconnaissance or support tasks.
Compatibility and Integration
The model has been designed to visually integrate well with the style of COBI aircraft and helicopters. Thanks to the interchangeable mounts, the same pod can be used for various models without having to print multiple versions.
One-color Version
In the one-color version, a pause is built in for manual filament changing, as the model otherwise wouldn't really make sense.
Background: Hydra 70
The Hydra 70 is a 70mm rocket family that has been used by numerous NATO forces for decades. Depending on the warhead, it can be used for various tasks and remains standard armament for many attack helicopters and fighter jets to this day.
Development
This model was designed at the request of Kit2925 and then specifically optimized for 3D printing. The focus was on good printability, modular application possibilities, and the most realistic implementation possible in 1:48 scale.
Current News
A poll is currently running on Discord to determine which model I should design next. (until approx. 06/10/26) (link below)

F18E (Top Gun) (in the photos) (no longer for sale)
F18C (not compatible with the fuselage mount) Amazon
F14 (Top Gun) (in the photos) Amazon

Cobi offers the individual jets in many different (especially color) versions, which should not affect compatibility with my models, with a few exceptions (see above). If you find any other exceptions, please feel free to write to me!
