skuki Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi, I would like to use this loader http://acc.kitreview.com/mj1bombloaderreviewbg_1.htm. It is for my dio with F/A-18F vfa-103. I would like to ask is this some kind of univeral loader for US navy and which colour should it be. Could it be used freely with vfa-103 super hornet and is it suitable for all bombs? Thanks in advance :) Cheers ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clifford355 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi there I don't know much about universal navy bomb loaders or what colour they should be. What I can suggest is that have you considered the 1:48 Italeri Combat Air Support Group. Here is a picture of the kit http://www.netmerchants.co.uk/product.php?xProd=823 The reason I suggest is because you get the bomb loader which you could paint (ok it may not be as detailed as the Wingz Aero Products bomb loader but the Italeri kit is a lot cheaper) Plus you get the pilots, the mechanics, and more. The only thing I see which may not be suitable for your dio is the tractor. Anyway just a suggestion Cliff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The MJ-1 [aka the jammer] is a USAF weapons loader. The picture in the first link shows a yellow one with a pylon from an Air Force F-4 not a Navy one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
