LSP_K2 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Any one of these will be great, so thanks a bunch. The review that I'm currently writing on the new F-5, shows front canards for what is supposed to be an AIM-9E, but seem much more consistent with the AIM-9L or 9M Sidewinders.

Cheetah11 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hi Kevin You probably know this but the AIM-9E in the Tamiya F-4 is too short. This is the only 9E I know of in a 1/32 kit. Nick LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 AIM-9B : AIM-9D : AIM-9E : AIM-9J : AIM-9M : Dont know if it's 100% accurate, though... LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Right, that's what I determined, the kit missiles are either AIM-9L/M's misidentified as AIM-9E's, or AIM-9E's with incorrect forward canards, and I know not which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Similar in appearance: AIM-9B lead sulphide uncooled, used by everyone AIM-9C SARH version used by F-8 Crusader, since modified to passive radar homing AGM-122 Sidearm AIM-9D/G/H Naval (and British bought) nitrogen gas cooled variants, later with radar cueing (SEAM) AIM-9E USAF and FMS thermoelectric Peltier effect cooled AIM-9J/P/N USAF and FMS outgrowths of the 'E AIM-9L/M all-aspect and used by everyone, most using Nitrogen cooling but USAF uses Argon gas cooling AIM-9X latest whoosh-bang used by evryone who can afford it unless they prefer AIM-132, Python 4 etc. Tony LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
