strikeeagle801 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 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. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HWR MKII Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 2X TER 6X MK82 with a BSU49B stabilizers? Slant loaded GBU12s on 2 TERS. I dont know if anyone does a small diameter bomb and dispenser in 32 scale yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The Academy kit has decals for two Misawa Vipers. A very nice sheet printed by Cartograf. The Tamiya kit also has Misawa decals. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well, we'll see what happens then. Totally didn't even consider the kit decals. So used to going aftermarket. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
