strikeeagle801 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I've got the 1/48 Meng kit and it have AIM-7's, but no Sidewinders. The photos that I've seen online don't show Sidewinders, but I wanted to confirm this. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Does the Meng kit include Shrike and/or HARM missiles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But they did carry Sparrows, so they were obviously thinking about some kind of air-to-air trouble, so ai wasn't sure about Sidewinders. 44 minutes ago, habu2 said: Does the Meng kit include Shrike and/or HARM missiles? It does include HARM's. I'm doing a Desert Storm bird with HARM's, so I didn't pay close enough attention to the contents to notice Shrikes. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Some interesting details of the F-4G in Desert Storm starting on pg15: https://afhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Winter2023-Issue_all.pdf a nice pic of kill markings on pg36. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) The F-4G can carry AIM-9 sidewinders, but as the AGM-88, AGM45 and/or AGM-78 interfer with the AIM-9 the -9's have to yield. They could carry up to 3xAIM-7's, but normally carried 2xAIM-7 during Desert Storm. Here is a good link to the loads carried during DS1: F-4E/G and RF-4C "Phantom II" Edited March 16 by Niels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I figured a typo wouldn't kill anyone 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
