I noticed that the R-13M in real life is painted to look like the AIM-9 with a dark grey tip and forward fins, however in the Strike Fighters 1 and 2 series, it's painted white. Is this a modelling error by Third Wire or were R-13Ms also painted white in real life?

as this is a GAMING question about the SF2 series, it's now where it belongs. NOT in the Real Life (tm) Military forum

R-13M AA-2D Advanced Atoll

So it looks in reality:

Grey head, green ring, white body and fins.

some more detail pictures of the R-13M that i made at the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung Koblenz , check the last picture that missile has russian and english warnings on the wings and instead of a nozzle there is a cast ring with holes , maybe Gepard knowse what this part is for , on life missiles this part is not present

also interesting is the holding mechanism for the front wings on the launch rail
