305swag Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 No, the IAF used them on their E's during the YKW. But it's YOUR model so build it anyway you want Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hblecha Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I have 4 AIM-9D missiles can they be loaded on USAF F-4E? TIA Eric Sidewinder missiles that are used on US aircraft. Sidewinder Variant USN/USMC/USAF aircraft - AIM-9B, AIM-9L/M*, AIM-9X Sidewinder Variant - USN/USMC aircraft only - AIM-9D/G/H Sidewinder Variant - USAF aircraft only - AIM-9E/J/N/P Eduards Brassen series of missiles has most of these available in 1/72 and 1/48. Highly recommended * The AIM-9L/M requires the USAF to use a high pressure air bottle mounted in the GCG to cool down the detector. The USN/USMC uses the bottle available in the launcher. Same may apply to the AIM-9X. A rather unique design feature. Hope this helps in determining which Sidewinder variant is used with which services compatible aircraft. Any questions give me a shout.
