Has anyone built or know of someone who has built a 1/72 AIM-47 using an AIM-54 as the base.

EDIT: I just researched the Italeri YF-12A and it comes with 2 AIM-47s. DOH!!! Can someone comment on the accuracy of these missiles?

Sean did a great report on a Falcon history here. You download in PDF Sean's report here.
 
Thanks for the link Spudman. Are you from PEI? ;)

Given the dimensions it appears the AIM-54 can be used as the starting point for the AIM-47.

Attached is a picture which compares my Italeri YF-12A kit AIM-47s and the Hasegawa Weapons Kit #3 AIM-54.

They look to very close in over-all dimensions. But Italeri misinterpreted the black line markings for a gap in the fins.

That gap in the fins is the only significant mistake they made that I can see.
