There was a thread about this a long time back... someone posted a link to the artists web page and it had all sorts of pictures like the ones above...

AMRAAM:

Sparrow:

The BVR bitch-slap in the picture is the Sparrow. Look at the tail fins.

The telltale feature that it's an AIM-7 and not an AMRAAM (aside from the size of the front fins) is the wave guide on the side of the body. Looks like a little cable tunnel running up the side of the missile body from the tail end.

Did you guys even notice the women? I didn't see that there were planes (much less missiles) until you guys mentioned it.

I still say AMRAMM (a or b with big fins). The may appear bigger from the front, but I think that's perspective. The "wave guide" only goes up to just in front of the front fins ... like an AMRAAM. An AIM-7 waveguide goes damn near to the seeker. Look closely at the art, there is a stripe in front of the "waveguide" ... but that ain't an AIM-7.
