Who can help me with typical A-G loadout of Aviano F-16 during kosovo missions for my Tamiya model.
My intention is
2xAIM-120, 2x AIM 9L, AAQ-13nav pod, AAQ-14 targeting pod, on right TER 2xGBU 12, left TER 1x GBU-31 JDAM, AN-ALQ-131, two foel tanks.
is it possible loadout in 1999 for aviano block 40? also some photos can help me.
thanks a lot

Well, in both cases, you would be using a MER instead of a TER. TERs are horrifically draggy. Also, I don't think the Viper can carry a 2000lb-class weapon on stations 3 & 7.

Yes, they can - however JDAM was not introduced until after Y2K. By then all air action over Kosovo was over. GBU-12 x 2 under both wings will do nicely for that campaign.
GBU-31 was first used in anger during the initial fighting in Afganistan following 9/11-01 - pioneer unit was the 389FS 366FW Block 52 Vipers.

The F-16 is certified to use the TER-9A and BRU-31/A series suspension equipment. The only time I ever saw a MER near an F-16 was in the original YF-16 propaganda photos.
Stations 3&7 are the standard air-to-ground loadout stations. They are certified to well above 2000 lbs per station.

Aviano jets were doing fast FAC work then as well with rocket pods on the TERs. However, one asemtric load you could do is 2 x GBU-12 on one side and an AGM-65 on the other.
