Use a -120 with Sparrow fins ?

Sparrow II looked like this:


Long, thin, conical nose cone.  Very different to AIM-7 or AIM-120, Capt'n.

Where's that one exhibited then? Do I see a 'winder of some sort and a Firestreak in the background?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Its the same display as in reply #2 in this thread, Kit.  What you think is a Firestreak is actually an IR guided Sparrow with an aerospike on the nose.  This picture is just from the other side to the picture in reply #2.

Just the sort of thing they would have at Point Magu I guess.  ;D
