Asking this for Modelling purposes guys, is still the Penguin Mk3 in use whithin the RNoAF today?

Somewhere (and sadly I can't recall where) I read that MLU vipers are not carrying the penguin missile anymore, the current version of the MLU software package does not includes the missile in its inventory.

Cheers.

Correct, the Penguin is not used by RNoAF Vipers anymore. As I mentioned in another thread somewhere, the first MLU-converted Viper carried Penguins on the publicity photos, but the software in the MLU do not allow for the Penguing. May be that the earlies MLU-software still had some provisions for the missile, but it was surely gone by the M3-update.

Thanks bro, will take note of this data, somewhere between the first MLU's and earlier viper pics I got tangled. Working on a RNoAF 1/48 viper , but no penguins on it, all clear now. Cheers mate.
