Reminds me that I want to build a cammo'd 106 someday, too.  :rolleyes:

Unfortunately nothing else fitted.  I had wanted to put Firestreaks or Red Tops in there, but they were too long to fit in the bay without removing the central spar
I tried that also with my build, so I sealed the weapons bay up, and put 2 pairs of red tops on the wings. The weapons bay became a fuel tank.

The weapons bay was the reason I wanted to build this.  Anyway, we've used US missiles for years, it's just we chose the better missile  (AIM-9), but you don't get a choice here. Even Sidewinders wouldn't fit in that bay without major work.
