Hello all!

A few will remember that I asked questions nearly a year ago about the MC-130E since I´m doing a model of this plane. There is a good chance my brother will get the electronic stuff fixed this weekend; we´re planning to make all lights work on this 1/72-scale model.

Now it´s question time again: Does anybody know where the low-intensity formation lights are located on a Talon I?
To point out what I mean I show you a picture of those lights, here shown on a F-14:

It would be really great if anyone could contribute pictures to help me locate the exact position of those lights.

Thank you!

This picture is no help with the "slime lights" but it is a good one of a Talon 1 with the old Fulton Recovery system installed.

Yep, that camo-scheme looks really cool, I have the impression it´s only a two-tone-camo?

Anyway, I´m going to paint mine in some kind of lizzard-scheme. Please don´t mind if I don´t chear up in full joy and excitement if you all post pics of Talons that "only" show the plane and not the lights I asked for. I already have my harddisk stuffed with pictures of the Talon I...

Two-tone is correct, and I might add it's also very dated one I haven't seen since I was a CAP cadidiot back in the 1970's: a 'Nam era pattern pre-dating "European One".
