Originilly these were the same FS36118 Gunship Gray as the USAF pods, but recently the pods are allowed to be painted in TPS colors (FS 36375, FS36270, FS 36537).

David,

I saw (and photographed) two Swordsman F-14Bs on static display at the Dayton Air Show this year and they both carried LANTIRN pods. Both pods appeared to be painted FS 36375 and were heavily weathered and faded, much like the jets that carried them!
