rjones726 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Good morning, I'm building Tamiya's 1/48 phantastic F4-B. I've been researching load outs used during Vietnam by Marine units and I've settled on MK 77 firebombs on the inboard pylons and MK 82s on a centerline MER. As I understand it, the MER could be mounted either forward or aft on the C/L pylon. If the load was 6 MK 82 bombs, which position would be used? I have the DACO book and have spent quite a bit of time on google with no joy. Thanks, Rob PS: I got the ordnance from Flying leathernecks, the pylon from hypersonic and the MER from Eduard Edited November 15, 2022 by rjones726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 How about a load of Mk-77s and a c/l Mk4 gun pod: Jari John1 and Isar 30/07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjones726 Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Jari, I considered the gun pod but in the end I decided a Marine F-4B in late 67 / early 68 needed napalm and lots 'o' bombs to tell the story I wanted to tell. Thanks again, Rob John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Here is another one with LAU-3s (without fairings) and looks like TER mounted bombs on the c/l: also note that that time air to air missies were carried just in case. Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
