Actually, I think they would have carried Paveway IVs. Not sure about the snesor fit, though. Tom

Checking Wiki and other sources, yes, any combination is possible. I suspect they're painting them all gray today, but no telling. Tom

I checked and found this source for hull numbers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/182803826231?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D7ecd6ac36b1248ee82e7ea28f5845739%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D173323872788%26itm%3D182803826231%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1. I don't know anything about them, though. Tom

I'll second that his publications are great! Got the F4U cockpit one, along with a couple of his books about the F4U and they are outstanding!! Tom

They also did the Louisiana (BB-71), the Des Moines (CA-134), and the Salem (CA-139) in 1/700 scale. Tom

I had a look around and found FS 36375 here: https://ams-std-595-color.com/. I'm sorry, but I couldn't really find when 36375 came into effect. However, it's Light Ghost Gray, which has been on F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, and other aircraft. So, it's been around since at least the mid-80s, I believe. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Tom

What I should have added, Giorgio, is that once a missile is in the air, it's still faster than an F-16. And yes, making a firing pass at a faster speed means less aiming time. And with all the problems the F-16 had with the pod, not worth the time or trouble, anyway.

Reminds me of the story on Anthony G Williams' site about the Soviet Gsh-6 30 mm cannon mounted on the Mig-27 (https://quarryhs.co.uk/GSh-6-30.htm), although that fiasco was even worse. I wonder if any aircraft could survive over the battlefield for very long. An F-16 may be faster than an A-10, but the missiles are still faster than an F-16. Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising painted a bleak and likely accurate picture... Tom

Thank you! Tom

Apologies, Joe! I missed this! I'll check them out-I've ordered from them a few times and alwys get good service. Thanks, Tom

Thank you so much, Selwyn!! Tom

@robertone139, who has them?

Thank you for that, Selwyn! Who's paint do you use? Thanks, Tom

Thank you all again so much for your help! I do have some Model Master 34092 I could use. Jamie, you'll never hear anything like that from me! I so greatly appreciate your paints and the work you do, in addition to your full time job! The US distributor needs to step up, as @72modeler has mentioned. Again, thanks so much for all your help. @Selwyn, many thanks as well for your contribution. I'll look for the paint. And yes, Texas to Aberdeen would be a haul. Maybe with a new hypersonic airplane :)? Tom

Thank you all for your suggestions! I really appreciate them! I'll have to look and see if I can find Xtracolour paints over here and Colourcoats is a losing battle, as the distributor doesn't carry much and doesn't get any resupply. I may be able to do the Humbrol 3 and 100. I'll have to look. Thank you again! Tom
