eraucubsfan Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 All- I am bad at identifying weapons, but thinking about doing this loadout on my Corsair. Looks like Shrike or HARM, Mk82 thermo protected, fuel tank and AIM-9 (?) Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Shrike, MK-82 dumb (inert) on a MER, and an inert AIM-9L. Great shot by BTW. Looks like the Pax River airshow. Anymore pics of 752 or the other Pax jets at the show? I see my old friend 770 in the background (Caracal hopefully doing decals of test S-3’s someday).

Is there a difference between LAU-34 and AERO-5B launchers? I got the Flight Line Resin Shrikes with LAU-34 Launcher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got the Flight Line Resin Shrikes with LAU-34 Launcher. I'm not familiar with the LAU-34 so I can't say but the AERO 5B was basically identical to the LAU-118 launcher used for the HARM (and Shrike also). I did some quick research and according to Google the LAU-34 was the same as the AERO 5A but I don't know if that AERO 5A is the same AERO 5A that was used inside the pylons on the A-4A and B Skyhawk and F-105G Wild Weasel. Can you post a picture of the LAU-34 so I can see if it looks like an AERO 5B/LAU-118. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tony.t Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 You'll want the different Navy Aero 5 or later LAU-118) launcher. The LAU-34 is completely different and was used by USAF F-4C/G Wild Weasels. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 What is a good source for the LAU-118? I believe they are in the Eduard HARMs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 If you have a Monogram 1/48 A-4 laying around, just cut the launchers off the outboard pylons and use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want a pair, I probably have some in my Scooter parts bin. That way you can keep the Eduard ones for the HARMS and another project. Let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
