Question re correct weapons for F-4S Phantom

[Lothar 2,184]

Question for the knowing: I need to know which were the correct weapons for the F-4S, my Google search drew a blank. I think Sparrows and Sidewinders

were the main load, but which version? Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

By the 80's, should be the L/M model Sidewinder and either the F or M model Sparrow (not sure if the Marines used the M or not).

Likely AIM-9L/M and AIM-7F or M

I am building one at the mo of a 1981 period airframe. The -7M was tested in 1982 so have gone for  -9Ls and -7E2s

 

The Two Bobs sheet is very nice

The -7F entered service in 1976, so that may be more likely for 1981.

Thank you all for your informative answers. Good feeling to know what to look for now.

The Marines weren’t tasked (normally) with fleet defense, so a more likely scenario would be air to ground ordnance.  But since the S never went into combat, anything you put on it is theoretical unless you’re building what you see in a specific photograph.
