Finn Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Came across these pics at a non-modelling forum: note there is a bomb (Mk-81?) without a tail section on a forward station of the MER, no doubt as a weight balance.

Finn Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 The MER balance/ballast wasn't common to the F-4 as here is a A-6 with a pair of Mk-81 Snakeyes up front with the SUU-7 dispenser on the aft station: Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Aren't those the rare anti-tailgater rocket launchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 They were not rocket but bomb dispensers and throwing them behind the plane ensured a better dispersion. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 F-4D on display with a pair SUU-7s with tail covers on: they are available in 1/48 from Eduard but none in 1/32 as of yet, maybe one day. Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
