Pappy121 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 G'day people, What colour were the USN fuselage pylons? ,I am referring to the fuselage mounted pylon that could have the missile rail (Aero 3B?) attached to it and the ' Y' pylon that could have twin missile rails attached. It is hard to determine if it should be gloss white like the missile launchers or light gull grey like the fuselage. I am leaning towardd white, cheers, Pappy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor.777 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Pretty sure they were dull grey like fuselage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 They would be same color as the fuselage, flat gull grey (FS 36440). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonwinn Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 FS 16440 same as fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crash Test Dummy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 From the previous thread the consensus seemed to be that it could go either way. Gray seemed common, but there were also numerous images where they appear white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy121 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 G'day, Thank you to all who replied. CTD, thank you for the link, some great reference pictures and details. I am going with white for the Y launcher and grey for the fuselage pylon. It was interesting to see a pic of both the LAU-3 and earlier Aero-3B fitted to the same Y adapter, cheers, Pappy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
