Thanks to a heads up from one of this Page’s Followers on Twitter, it turns out that the Philippine Air Force (PAF) had contracted the Company called Modelworks Direct to make Mock-ups or Full-sized Models of the AIM-9L Sidewinder Short Range Air to Air Missile (SRAAM) for their use. 

Here is the Youtube Video on how they made the Mockup:

As per their official Website, the Company has Offices in the United States (US), Japan and Mabalacat, Pampanga, Philippines. These are the exact same Mock-ups whose Pictures were sent to my Inbox a couple of Years ago. 

Towards the end of the Video, you can see the AIM-9L Mock-ups being delivered and installed on the FA-50PH Fighting Eagle Aircraft of the PAF. The FA-50PH is identifiable as those being of the PAF based on their Colors and Markings. 

Below are some selected Screenshots of the AIM-9L Mock-ups and their installation on the FA-50PH.
