    I believe that only AGM-65As & Bs could be carried on LAU-88s. Subsequent variants had a heavier warhead and could only be carried on LAU-117s.

    Jim from what I remember, the IIR models required more power and the LAU-88's couldn't handle the extra loads. There was a later (much later) TCTO for the LAU-88's to handle the updated missiles. I have a pic some where of some Mass and CT A-10A+'s carrying LAU-88's when they were deployed for OIF. The LAU's were on Station 3 and the LITENING pod was on Station 9. 

    Of course I could be wrong about the power thing but I did see them used in OIF. BTW our unit never got rid of them, they were just stored as part of our WRSK kit.

    2X AIM-9L/M on Sta 1 or 11

    1 ALQ-131 or ALQ-119 (?) on opposite 1 or 11

    either 3 AGM-65B or D on a LAU-88 or 1 AGM-65 B or D  on a LAU-117 (Probably squadron choice as LAU-88's were not used a lot in the late 80's but would probably be used in a shooting war)  B models on Sta's 3 or 9 and the D models opposite station

    Depending on the mission, threat and a bunch of other issues, parent mounted Mk-82's on 4,5, 7,8

    Hey folks, looking at the instructions for the new 48th Flanker kit at the Hobby Search site. GWH has you paint the inside of the intakes FS33531 sand. Is this right???? Doesn't jive with anything I've read but there isn't that much on Su-27 intake colors  🙂 

    Can anyone confirm or deny this color callout?

    Thanks!

    "New" Kinetic F-16I Kit

    Has the New Kinetic F-16I been revamped in any way beside some weapon sprues and decals? How is the kit? I have the original Kinetic F-16AM and we all know about the nose and the overall heavy handiness of the moldings. Just wondering if things have been improved, Thanks!

    Other then wing slats, what would a late F-4E have?

    All dependent on the airframe, but TISEO on the port wing. ARN-101 hump. C/F dispenser on the inbd pylons although that was not "E" specific but just as a matter of what time your depicting. I'm sure theres some other things..

    Current shipping times from Russia to US?

    I ordered something from ebay from a russian seller and it took a few days to get to the post office 16 Sep. Stayed in the local Post Office till the 22 Sep when it went through the big Moscow P.O. so now its on its way from russia to the US. Judging from a previous package it will take a week or so to get here and another week to get through US customs and to go from NYC to Baltimore. 

    This is the least expensive tracked postage. I would definitely get tracked postage!!!!

    Su-27 Intake interior colors

    in Research Corner

    Posted

    Does any body have good shot of the inside of a Su-27 intake? Especially showing the color demarcation lines? I have heard/read that its the underside color then turns to a natural metal area that has a yellowish colored clear coat over that natural metal area. Hard to find a good pic.
