Nice looking #222 A7D. What type of bombs are there on the pylons as seen on the first photo?

The canopy trims are painted. A lot of works done on this little pirate.

Bill,

That would be the actuator on the full-scale bird.

Thanks for the compliment.

Those are either CBU52 or CBU58 with radar fuse on a "MER" expansion rack (4 CBU per rack, mounted on stations 2 & 7). Not 6 per rack because the drop tanks would interfere with the munitions on the inside of the MER.

I'm in the middle of restoring one of these A-7's and I was wondering if anyone had a pair of the inner most hard points that mount on the wings used for the external fuel tanks they would be willing to sell me? Please send a PM. Thanks

Michael
