I have a F-16AM that I am building in a Dutch KLU special scheme, but I am thinking of loading weapons onto it. What are some common weapons and loadouts carried by Dutch F-16AMs?

Here's one with two pairs of training Sidewinders, fueltanks and what looks like an ECM pod on the centreline station. It would probably look much the same with warshots.

Here's another with just the sidewinders and underfuselage fuel tank.

These two appear to have laser-guided bombs on their outboard wing pylons.

It seems that RNLAF F-16s are not often photographed when they're armed up.

Wich RNLAF F-16 are you planning to build? I live in The Netherlands and besides aircraft modeling i am also into Aircraft spotting.

Depending in wich Teather you are planning the build the plane. Dutch QRA configuration is most of the time 2 AIM-120's at the wingtips and 2 AIM-9's at the outboard pylon's. 2 underwing fuel tanks, 1 ALQ-131 under the center pylon and a litening targeting pod under the air intake.

If you wanna build a libya or Afghanistan plane let me know. they had slightly different configurations.

I plan on building a display anniversary scheme so any ordinance on it besides the ACMIs would be incorrect. I just plan on loading it with what it could carry.
