Where are the red and yellow stripes on a AIM-9L AIM-9M and AIM-9X?

these instructions are correct, so this is the fastest way

for AIM-9X www.1999.co.jp/.../2 Stripe #4 is the "live weapon stripe Yellow" and Stripe #5 is the "low explosive rocket motor Red-Brown" (FS 30117)

AIM-9L/M www.1999.co.jp/.../2  Stripe #1 is the "live weapon stripe Yellow" and Stripe #2 is the "low explosive rocket motor Red-Brown" (FS 30117)

note that these colors are set by NATO treaty/International Law,,,,,the two Reds mean incendiary or non-lethal gas,,,,,so, they aren't used on missiles

hope this helps
