Ok, so it is a bizarro request...

But I'm on an SU25 kick and am burning through the 20th century Sturmovicks decals from Linden Hill.
I've got a painted Su25 in Peruvian livery sitting here naked, no ordinance at all..

Anyone know what the weapons loadouts for these bad boys is/was?
Soviet free fall bombs? Rockets?
US ordinance?
Arget Orange?

I gotta figure if you're going to have dedicated ground attack a/c you're going to hang something off the bottom, and drop something that goes boom...yes?

Hi MLD-

The following link contains some limited information on Peruvian Su-25s, hopefully it will be of some assistance to you:

http://www.aeronautics.ru/newsletters/vol12-24_1200_screen.pdf

Apparently, the Peruvian Su-25 carries many of the air to ground items currently available in the Russian inventory, and while there are no pictures to support the article, it will hopefully give you an idea of what Peruvian Su-25s are carrying.

HTH-

MLD,
I've been building several aircraft from Peru for one of my customers. So far I did a Mig Fulcrum, and a Mirage. I am curently working on an SU-22 and trying to get my hands on Monograms 1/48 Hind D. The guy I am building these for gave me this web address for reference. It might help you out. Its in Spanish though.
