Pappy121 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 G'day people, I have a question regarding the forward avionics bay (FAB) colours. I have the Verlinden Lock-On No.4 for the F-15C and it has a colour pic showing the FAB as a metallic green/blue colour similar to Bay 5. I know that the Bay 5 colour can vary due to fiscal year build, which changed over from the green/blue to white around FY 80. Some people have started that Bay 5 was repainted following MSIP but I do not think that this was true. Some jets may have had their bay repainted but the majority retained their original paint colour post MSIP. My question is: Did the FABs also follow the same practice? I am building a 65th Aggressor Sqn F-15C with an 80+ s/no, cheers, Pappy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The forward avionics bays were metallic green, that never changed. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellyF15 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 They were still metallic green on the C's D's and E's at Elmendorf and Mountain Home when I was stationed at those bases. So those were all 84-91 models. The only white avionics bays I have encountered have been on F-16's and F-35's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
