1/32 Tamiya F16CJ Question........

I decided to build mine like the picture on the box but you can mount them either way. There's a page in the instructions that shows all the different possibilities.  It's a fun build, you're gonna love it.

The procedure is to put the AIM-120 on the wing tips and the AIM-9 below the wing.  It does look a bit odd though.

Just to add to the mix, Martin Dougherty's "Modern Air Launched Weapons" shows the AIM-9's consistently loaded on the wingtip rails, and the AIM-120's on the outboard pylons. He indicates the remaining pylons loaded with heavier weapons closer to the fuselage, type depending on mission requirements.

Happy Modeling!

I rounded up pictures of the F-16CJ from various squadrons.

The weapons are interchangeable when its finished, I think there's four amraams you can use so whatever takes your fancy, I made this kit years ago, when it was considerably cheaper lol. Best kit I have ever made though.
