More commonly you will see a pair of AIM-120B/C but I didn't have any. My source said that the F/A-18D is checked out for two sidewinders as well, though its done infrequently.

NICE of all the load outs I ever saw on those, I have never seen a double sidewinder rail on a wing pylon

Very nice build. What kit is it? 

Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18D kit #D9:1000

The only problem with the kit is that the landing gear bays too small.

Very nice. Assymetrical loads are really fun to do. I like the decals on the drop tanks as well. Nice touch.

I built this one based on a photo I saw a while back. This Classic Hornet has an asymetric loadout with a GBU-24.  The GBU-24 is a bunker buster type, and based on a Mk84 2000 pound bomb.
