Solo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 There are a couple of photos of USN A-7Es carrying Walleye during Desert Storm here: http://www.seaforces.org/usnair/VA/Attack-Squadron-72.htm They were also used during the Vietnam War. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Dave Roof posted a pic awhile back of an F-18 from VMFA-314 with three Mk84s and a Walleye. If you follow Flying Leathernecks Decals on Facebook, you can probably find the pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) A-4s, A-7s and F-4Ds used them in Vietnam, a F-4 with it can be found on pg12 in this article: https://www.afhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/APH-Summer-2020-Vol-67-No-2-All.pdf and here is one being tested: and here are some Desert Storm A-7Es with Walleyes: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/carrier-deck-crew-by-bevy-of-a6-attack-aircraft-returned-fr-2nd-on-picture-id50614103 http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/bombladen-attack-aircraft-beforeafter-bombing-missions-on-iraqi-on-picture-id50614104 edit: A-4 with a pair: Jari Edited January 16, 2021 by Finn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 I like those pictures with one Walleye hanged up asymmetrically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I’d look to see if they were carried on USAF A-7Ds. Walleye was primarily a Navy weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Too bad, because I have Hasegawa A-7D/E and Aires resin cockpit for A-7D, so I must build D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I see Eduard announced another AGM-62 ER/ERDL - anyone can explain me the differences between it and the "normal" Walleye (except different control surfaces)?

The wings were larger for extended gliding range, hence the “ER” name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Breaddy-Stack Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Here’s a video from 1995 of hornets from VMFA(AW)-121 dropping some ordnance. At 14:50 Walleye I footage starts. Edited February 16, 2021 by Breaddy-Stack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Euard announced third kind of Walleye on May - do you know what is that version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A simple Google search shows that the Walleye II had a 2000 lb warhead Vice the 1100 lb warhead of the Walleye and Walleye ER. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
