AIM-7 Sparrow

[+HungaroJET 2]

is all there you only could not see them on the other screenshots

 

OK, Thank You...this is fine

 

what i badly need are pictures from the nozzle of the AIM-7A / C / D , otherwise i have to release them semifinished

i contacted Museums in the US but i only got pictures from the E and F versions and this i have already

 

unfortunately i dont have images of those older variant, moreover not from the nozzle, sorry

 

and this is the only picture i got from the nozzle of the AIM-7A , now i only hope that my interpretation of it is correct

 

looking good ! ... maybe if someone will has visual problems with your model, he will post some images for future corrections

 

 

there is still one problem though if my intterpretation would be correct do i have to change the AIM-7C to the same nozzle , because they used the same " Aerojet1.8KS 7800 Rocket Engine " ?????

on the other hand this pictures shows a the same " Rocket Engine " but from a AIM-7B , this motor was donated to the Smithsonian , with a nozzle more close to the one i made for the AIM-7C

 

i wish i could have a bit more help to clear this up

 

i think you should contact with Raytheon Co.....worth a try

or you should drop a Personal Message to Dave, hopefully he will able to help you with some old USAF photos...maybe not images of missiles but images of aircrafts whitch carrying those missiles...better than nothing

Any chance you'd upload a BETA of the french missiles?

 

Certain Iraqi mirages need them for maximum pr0n screenies

Sorry , i dont upload any more BETA for the Weaponspack2 , i´m just working on the AIM-4D and some ECM-pods that i need for my upcoming F-4E / F mod as soon as this weapons are done i upload the Weaponspack2

the AIM-7A will not be part of this weaponspack anymore , i simply dont have enough pictures for it

 

i hope you can wait the next 2 weeks

 

aaahhhmmm...... , i may still need some testpilots for weapons testing if you are interested

 

AIM-4D work in progress

Hey Volker bring us also the AIM7 A with the note "unter vorbehalt"

I agree, please put it to your WeaponPack. Maybe later you should update that model...if you got more photos/infos.

 

BTW: maybe these will help a bit

after all this years i´m finally made the AAM-N-2 /  AIM-7A Sparrow I and that is how it looks like

the 2 flares / tracer  on the rear are made as self illumination , i have to try if that works in game , it is the first time i do it this way

 

based on a special request i made the AAM-N-3 Sparrow II , there are 2 versions the USN one and the one from the RCAF and based on the RCAF version i made a what if AIM-7B production version 

from the top USN , RCAF

 

and the what if AIM-7B

 

and i made the last and final version the AIM-7 the AIM-7R , the missile had a IR-seeker in the radome and an updated avionics , the missile program was stoped due to budget cuts and the high cost of the program but there a some rumors that some of this AIM-7R where used in the Gulf War but no deffint prove of it though

well, that would explain the better performance of the "Great White Hope" over Iraq , although this is the first i've ever heard of it (and i've been hearing that "120s got their combat debut the last week of Desert Storm" rumor since the mid 90s

Looking great, good to see you working. 

[+ravenclaw_007 7,221]

this are the only pictures i have from the AIM-7R  ,  the AIM-7R is basically a AIM-7P with a IR seeker and more modern avionics

after the AIM-7R program was canceled they used the new MHIP (Missile Homing Improvement Program) seeker on the RIM-66M Block III B

 

[+ravenclaw_007 7,221]

ok here are the AIM-7A , AIM-7B and AIM-7R missiles , the AAM-N-2 / AIM-7A is set up as beam rider and therefore very difficult to hit something with it

good luck and have fun with it
