Model Forum / General / Models / August 2007OA-4M Armament
I'm finishing up the old Monogram OA-4M. It comes with two fuel tanks, some bombs, and a couple of missiles (apparently Shrikes). I know the tanks are appropriate, but what about the bombs and missiles? Most of the pictures I've seen show a third tank or nothing on the centerline pylon, and empty outer wing pylons. I found a website where a retired pilot mentioned firing Zunis, so I'm tempted to use the LAU-10's from the Hasegawa weapens set for the outer wing pylons. Anybody have anything more solid in the way of information? Thanks. Pip Moss > I'm finishing up the old Monogram OA-4M.

It would therefore be safe to assume that it was *able* to carry and deliver any weapen the TA-4F was cleared for. On the other hand, the OA-4M was used in the "fast FAC" role, which would mean only unguided rockets were ever caried. None of my references show any other loadout then two underwing droptanks, sometimes combined with an underbelly droptank. On the internet I couldn't find any evidence to sugest otherwise. As a matter of fact, I could'nt even find mention of the OA-4M ever being used in a conflict. A few years ago, I made the Hasegawa OA-4M in 1/32 scale. Have a look at: http://www.demulder-rubber.be/steven/hobby/modelbouw/OA- 4M/OA-4M.html Cheers, Steven > As a matter of fact, I could'nt even find mention of the OA-4M ever being > used in a conflict. It wasn't, although TA-4Fs were used as Fast FACs in the Vietnam conflict Cheers, Andre You can be safe in loading LAU-10's on your OA-4M > I'm finishing up the old Monogram OA-4M.
