Marcel111 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Although I have now posetd two of my builds on ARC, this is my first forum post. Here goes: I'm building a (1/32) F/A-18D (VMFA-224 of course ;-)), question is if GBU-12s are carried in tandem on standard Vertical Ejector Racks or only on the newer, canted VERs. My research thus far indicates canted VERs only, which would seem to discount using the kit VERs. Darn! Thx for the help, Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No dual carriage at all for GBU-12 on a Super Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 FWIW, an interesting report on bomb collisions. This dated 1994 so it is Legacy Hornet info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 From what I have read, CVER's only and not VER's for parallel mount GBU-12's. I too plan to load 2 GBU-12's on a CVER on a 1/32nd F/A-18 and am going to modify tone of the kit VER's into a CVER to achieve this with a bit of scratch building.

Thx for the feedback!! I may just hang a single one on there, since I don't know if VMFA-224 used CVERs in their 2005 deployment... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leatherneck224 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Thx Joe! CVER's are pretty much standard now and every squadron has them. here is photo from USMC.mil from the time frame you are building. she has 2 GBU-12s on the left wing.
