Mk.84 bombs on Navy Phantoms

AFAIK the outboard pylons were never wired for AIMs, I could be wrong though.

 

The USAF, F-4G was wired to carry ARMs on the outboard pylons but I do not think they were wired to carry AIMs on those stations.

While on the topic of phantom pylons, and not to hijack,........Were the sidewinder launch rails shorter and flat across the back (not shaped). I thought that I saw Tamiya gives you a much later launch rail........On the flip side I may be loosing my mind.

Luca, here are some pics of 14" and 30" bomb racks. Note 30" racks also have 14" suspension, so they can Mk-83/82/81, TERs, Rocket Pods...and anything else that requires 14" suspension.

This link shows the F-4 inner pylon with rack. The inner hooks are for 14" suspension and the two outer are 30". For some reason I cant post the pic here.

The USN inboard pylons were designed to carry a single AIM-7 and two AIM-9s to carry any other weapon required the adapter Jari is speaking of.

 

Here are some pics of my efforts to properly configure the Tamiya pylons.
