Modern 1/32 weapons


Recommended Posts

Hello all

I'm looking for something a little different to put on my Academy Viper. I'm using the Twobobs Big Mouth Vipers sheet, depicting a Block 50 from Spang. Any suggestions as to what I should use, and where I can find the weapons? I'm wanting something different than the standard SEAD load of HARM's.

Spang F-16's did fly with a HARM under one wing, and a VER with two GBU-38's under the other wing during Oddysey Dawn over Lybia a couple years ago. I don't know if they did that during 2003 (the year of your decal option), but I wouldn't be surprised if they used various A/G ordnance during A-stan or Iraq deployments.

Wouldn't Block 50 from Spang be tasked with a SEAD role with HARMs and an HTS pod?

AG loads would be on the Block 40s out of Aviano.

While SEAD is the Block 50's specialty, they train for and fly a variety of 'traditional' missions. Otherwise, they wouldn't be required to deploy to Afghanistan like they've done in recent years.

For my money, I like the dual-GBU-38 load on the Smart rack.

But, Misawa Vipers is where it's at, Aaron.
