seawinder Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I'm working on a Desert Storm Hornet with AIM-9Ms on the wingtip rails. I can't decide, after looking at photos, whether the whole rail was painted 36375 Light Ghost top and bottom, or the top surface got painted 36320 Dark Ghost along with the rest of the wing. I initially figured that the rail was a bolt-on attachment and would be all one color, but now I'm wondering. Can anybody help? Thanks, Pip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I’m 99% sure it’s light ghost gray. 100% sure it’s all one color. 100% sure I’ve been wrong before and I’ve never flown a Hornet. So my advice is worth what you paid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Good enough for me -- I'll go with it, having already painted them overall Light Ghost. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Confirmed. My last build was a desert storm F/A-18A built for my boss. Light ghost gray wingtip rails. All one color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Roof Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I worked on the LAU-7 for 4 years and they were always 36375 overall. The launch rail was sprayed with a solid film lubricant that was really close to 36118. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
