    IRIAF F-5E TigerII

    in In-Progress Pics

    Posted

    Thanks Diego, just what i needed

    Can I assume that when the F-5E carried 4 X Bl.755, 4 X BLU 27 or 4 X snakeeye, this mean short range

    sortie ???

    Well, if looking at standard IRIAF warloads, you have several options here:

    - 2 Sidewinders always on wing-tip pylons,

    - air-to-ground: four Mk.82s with Snakeye retarding fins (one under each wing pylon),

    - anti-armor: two or four BL.755s of British origin (one under each wing pylon),

    - anti-personnel: two or four BLU-27 napalm-filled fire bombs ( one under each wing pylon ) were also used extensively and with big success,

    - sometimes 70mm rocket pods were also used, but apparently not very often.

    - the underfuselage fuel tank was practically always carried, due to the lack of IFR capability.

    Greetings

    Where did you find the info about BLU 27 napalm?, is that from hard fact or just

    "modellers creativity" ?

    When airbrushing with extra color I put the model in a clean "smart box", tose plastic containers that have a clip-on lid, that way dust i keept out when it is drying, i take a little bit longer to dry, but is worth the nice clean paintjob
