typhoon1 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi There Wonder if someone could please help I am at present building a 441 Sqn ( 1 CAG ) single seat CF-188 the aircraft is carrying a fuel tank under each wing and a Sidewinder training round on the wing tip.The Sidewinder training round is finless and blue in colour would anyone please have any close up shots of it and a paint ref number for the blue. The actual aircraft I saw at RAF Coningsby in the 80s sometime while on a Sqn rotation with one of our Tornado Sqn Many Thanks Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Are you talking about a ACMI pod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
typhoon1 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 No airmechaja Not a ACMI pod a Sidewinder training round . Kind Regards Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Here is one although at that time the body was blue not grey as in this pic, don't know the FS number just a dark blue: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That Sidewinder you are asking about is a standard CATM-9M without the wings and fins (identical to the one in FINN's pic) , the color would be FS 35109. If you are doing a subject that is older than 25 years the arming key will be different, if not, it will be same as the one in FINN's pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Baldwin Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just saw this post on Facebook and thought about this thread. Nice shot of a RCAF CF-18 with "training round???" mounted on wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That's a training pod, think it's a CUBIC Pod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
