AGM-45, AGM-78, AGM-88, AGM-45, AGM-78, AGM-88, which detects enemy SAM (surface-to-air missile) site tracking/guidance radar or radar waves emitted from radar sites and their positions with various sensors such as AN / APR-38 Its main mission is to attack with anti-radar missiles such as .

What are the features of the SWS 1/48 F-4G Wild Weasel V!
■ What is the F-4G's flight control system that performs the dangerous mission of suppressing enemy air defense networks?
In the F-4E/G model, the FCS (fire control system) was replaced with a small, vibration-resistant AN/APQ-120. Unlike the C/D model, the control system, which was only available in the front seats in the naval model, was added to the rear seats, and WSO (weapons systems officer) can also operate it. Not only did this increase the number of aircraft, but it also brought operational benefits, such as eliminating the need to build a new training aircraft.
In the SWS kit, even the shape of the hood that covers the upper part of the instrument panel for the rear seats, which is unique to the G model, is reproduced in detail. There is no omission to the rear seat rearview mirror attached to avoid the hood. It's also fun to think about the feelings of a soldier who puts himself in danger while performing a SEAD mission.

■ What is the armament unique to Wild Weasel that was required for the enemy air defense network suppression mission?
In the F-4G, the M61A1 20mm Vulcan cannon on the underside of the nose, which was a feature of the long nose type, was removed, and receivers were stored in the antenna fairing newly installed as Wild Weasel. In order to monitor, capture, and analyze radar waves, each part of the aircraft is equipped with a large number of antennas of various sizes.
In terms of armament, up to four AIM-7E can be mounted in the missile bay under the fuselage, but two are normally mounted in the rear Sta.3/7. ECM pods such as AN/ALQ-119 and AN/ALQ-131 are installed in Sta.4 on the left side under the nose. Two AGM-88s (maximum four) and four AIM-9s can be mounted on the underwing pylons, but this is rarely the case with the G-type.
