Mk-82 iron bombs and various cluster bombs for conventional weapons or a B61 for a nuke load. It's an ALQ-131 ECM pod. Jake

SU killer, to be nitpicky, but it's nice to see these markings. I never had a chance to pick up the old Detail and Scale markings for this jet. Jake

Looks great, you should post larger pictures. Jake

Mark, Those are timely F-16 subjects with the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaching and the events that are happening in Libya. Jake

I agree about the external tanks. Jake

Cool, I had never seen that before. Jake

Frankly I would be more worried about the submarine threat to the carriers. Jake

For standard Army Blackhawks, the Italeri kit is the only one I'm aware of that has the Hover IR Suppression System included, which makes it the best starting point. Jake

Digging up an old thread, what color is lettering on these helos? Black? Jake

Mark, Good to see coverage of one of the "Have Nap" configured B-52Gs. Jake

Tony, Thanks for the lead, but the link appears to be broken. Jake

Thanks for the answer, but I'm looking at the pics posted in another thread here Click if you dare and the back pads and seat cushions are yellow; I notice the new Eduard pre-painted detail set for the Revell B-17G has the same thing. Are they flatation cushions or something? Additionally, Dana Bell mentioned that the B-26 at the NASM "Flak Bait" had the same thing, so it doesn't appear to be just a B-17 thing. Jake

I posted this question in the B-17 group build thread, but received no response. What color were the seat cushions and back pads for the pilot and copilot in the B-17G? I've seen some references and pictures of yellow cushions in USAAF bombers; are they floatation devices too? Jake

What would be the color for seat cushions and backpads for the pilot and copilot? I've seen some suggestions they may be yellow. Also, what about lap belts, were they olive drab? Jake
