BLACKSHEEP Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I am trying to research what would be a standard load for a Gulf War F-4G. Most of the reference material I have seems to contradict and good clear pictures are limited. In thinking 2 Harm, 2 sparrow, 3 tanks and an ALQ-184 would be a fairly standard load. Other loads suggested are 4 Harm, 2 sparrow and jammer or 2 Harm, 2 Mavic, 2 sparrow and a jammer and also suggestion that they may have used Harms and cluster bombs towards the end of the conflict. Any guidance would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joerg Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hi, I seem to remember only having seen pics with either 2 or 4 AGM-88 Harms as offensive weapons. 2 AIM-7M Sparrows in the rear wells were standard as well as either a centerline tank when flying 4 Harms or all 3 tanks when only 2 Harms were loaded. Regarding the ECM pods: F-4Gs from the 35th TFW (George AFB, WW-tailcode) carried the ALQ-184 and F-4Gs from the 52nd TFW (Spangdahlem AFB, SP-tailcode) carried ALQ-131 deep pods. Decent ALQ-131s are available from Eduard Brassin - all ALQ-131s included in any 48th scale kits are dimensionally wrong. On Jakubs site dstorm.eu, linked by Niels above, there is also a nice photo section with lots of pics. HTH Joerg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 If you put HARM's on the outer pylons, don't forget to cant them outward ever so slightly, everyone misses that detail. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
