f5guy Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm working on a 72nd scale VA-34 A-6B from the early 1970's. I want to hang an inert AGM-45 and AGM-78 on it. Web searches have brought up plenty of pics of live rounds, but nothing for dummy rounds. Does anyone have a pic to share? Thanks, Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the 106 pic but dismissed it as a test round since it was on a Dart. The A-6 pic is gold though, thanks! Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loaded many AGM/ATM/CATM-45's but never loaded a Standard Arm (they weren't cleared on the A-7E), watched the A-6 guys load them few times though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petrov27 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) One on a Dart: edit - ha I missed your mention of finding one on a Dart in your post - I imagine it is this same pic :) Edited November 24, 2019 by Petrov27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
