But, I'd be willing to print some for you. You'd have to wat a few weeks as I am strapped for time to get things ready for Jet Jam in 3 weeks
I was wondering how difficult it would be to just print the nose section that gets attached to the front of the bomb, converting an ordinary "dumb-bomb" into a Paveway laser-guided bomb, and then just gluing that to the foam bombs that came with the model. With that, and some poster board or thin sheet plastic to resemble the folded tail fins, it'd likely make a decent looking representation of a Paveway load-out.

but to answer your question, shouldnt be too bad. I can make a simplified nose and tail unit to fit the scale. does the 64mm hog have foam mk82s for you to modify?

I'll have to research a bit to see which bombs these are. It includes two smaller bombs, and two larger ones, along with 4 AGM-65 Mavericks, that were obviously painted by someone who has never seen a Maverick missile. I need to modify the ones they included, as I've seen far too many Mavericks to ignore the bad depiction. I'm going to see if I can make a facsimile clear dome using UV curing resin, and paint behind it to look like the seeker for Laser Maverick. I could just paint the dome orange for IR Maverick, but then again, nothing saying I can't do both. I don't think there is any rule that a load-out can't include different versions.
