I think I have a J-7 I up at Avsim. It's a straight 21F with 2x 30mm (30 rounds per gun) instead of one. It's the one they only built 50 of anyways...

Rgr, was just covering the bases

Doing skins for the J-7II aka J-7B. 3 plain white PLAAF, 1 white PLANAF and 1 camo PLAAF

Though I don't actually have to do much to the skins for the first 4. But I'm working on some special nose numbers that are actual for the squadron in question

Then it's the H

Work to be done:

J-7II: Finish nose decals for Chinese ID markings.

J-7H: Add two underwing pylons (outer, A2A and FT only), inner pylons add ground attack for 'dumb' weapons. Skins.

J-7IIM: Simply convert F-7M Airguard. "A much improved version of the J-7IIA for the export market, the F-7M 'Airguard' fighter was developed in the early 1980s for delivery from 1984 with an additional pair of underwing hardpoints (for the carriage of two PL-7 short-range AAMs or two drop tanks), an improved cockpit with the Martin-Baker Mk10L zero/zero ejector seat, and a number of other developments.

Most importantly, however, is the inclusion of Western avionics such as the 956 HUDWAS, ranging radar with improved ECM, air-data computer, radar altimeter, IFF, and multi-mode radios."

J-7IIA: No need for the IIA, since it didn't go into service (?).
It only added a few things..
"In March 1984 the improved J-7IIA was introduced with an UHF communication antenna added onto the top of the vertical tail, and new avionics based on British technology. The air-speed tube was also relocated from under inlet to the top-starboard side of the inlet."

As far as I can tell, the PLAAF based the F-7M Airguard on this for Pakistan and then made the IIM for themselves.


So Bob, did you want to do an updated F-7M for Pakistan, and then I can just tinker with that for PLAAF? Or is it ok as it is, and I can use the current version?

Eeeeeee. Finally found good solid information. The J-7H had two multipurpose pylons for A2A and A2G. Just 2 pylons. The IIM (PLAAF's F-7M) had 4.


How's your radar workaround going, Bob?

Hopefully I'll have it up this weekend...

Hey guys any of you want to skin a Aim-47 and AA-4 for me? I used the Mig-17PFU pylons to give the 21F an extra set of inner pylons looks suprising good.
