    Gentlemen, I collect inert ordnance related items, including rockets, missiles and parts. I recently purchased an AGM-12 nosecone and a set of wings from a surplus dealer. According to the markings, it will fit a B-2, B-3, or C-2 series Bullpup. I found your discussion while digging to the bottom of the Internet, in search of information, and especially photos that show enough detail to build the body of the missile in exact detail. The nosecone I have includes a Mk15 T.D.D. (target detection device), which I believe is what the Scooter is wearing on its outboard hardpoint, in the photo that Ravenclaw_007 provided. That is the ONLY photo on this man's Internet that I could find of that device, on or off of a Bullpup. Thank you, Ravenclaw! I was hoping that the dealer I bought the nosecone from had a set of wings for a C model, because that is just a better looking missile to me, than the B, but I'm happy that I don't have to build either set. I realize what a TDD does, many missiles and mines have them, but I haven't found any information on why a few Bullpups had them. As 331Killerbee pointed out, it was very rare, but can you tell me why they used it? Special targets? Perhaps just for testing that particular TDD? Any information would be much appreciated. I'll attempt to post a photo of the nosecone and one wing, in case anyone cares to see the details of it. I noticed that all the wings are cast aluminum and have a slight bend built into rear, outboard tip. No deformation of the paint, all are identical, so it doesn't look like a demil process. I can't imagine them spinning like a bullet, so there has to be a different reason for the bends. Anyway, thanks for some great reading!
