AGM-62 Walleye in action?


Recommended Posts

Eduard announced new resin AGM-62 Walleye 1:48 on march of 2021, so I would like to know are there any pictures of armed Walleye under the wings of any aircraft?
I am looking and looking... Who and when used that weapon in combat?

A-4s, A-7s and F-4Ds used them in Vietnam, a F-4 with it can be found on pg12 in this article:

This is a great image,the first Walleye strike mission in Vietnam ( I've all the necessary to build one of the two A-4s involved)

 

Think that even F-18s used the Walleye in Desert Storm

Thanks guys, I think I will use one of that AGM-62 under the wing of A-7D I am going to build sometime in the future, together with one fuel tank and two Sidewinders. I like such humble but unusual ordnance.
