Hello everyone,
I am building a model of an F-4E circa Desert storm era. I wanted to do a different loadout and was wondering if they were B-61 certified. If so, what station would carry the weapon and what would be a typical load out in addition to that weapon. Thanks in advance.

The B-61 that I know of is a nuclear weapon. I wasn't there, but I'm pretty sure there was no plan to use nukes on Iraq at the time.
Yes, the F-4 could carry a B-61. Usually a single weapon would be loaded on the centerline station. Also outboard wing fuel tanks, ECM pod on the left forward missile well, 2 AIM-7s in the aft wells. Inboard pylons probably clean, maybe AIM-9s (for "self defense"?)
For a Desert Storm jet, a G-model if from Clark, the link above should guide you.
