Sgt Shultz II Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Could someone tell me the correct designation of the navy style weapons pylon used by the Air Force on RF-4C's. Any drawings or close up pictures would also be very helpful specially for hard points and mounting lugs and electrical connections. These pylons were used in SEA for ECM pods.

Barry Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Hi Ron, Here are some pics of the USN Inboard Weapons Pylon I reworked from the Tamiya piece. The Pylon itself was designed to carry a single AIM-7 with the Bomb Adapter it could carry a single weapon on MER. Using additional adapters it could carry AIM-9s. I hope these will be of help.

Tony T Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Great work Barry. The pylon was designated LAU-17/A if you want to rummage through the web for possible diagrams Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
