Hello,
I've been looking for WWII (although stocks were used until the 1960's) AMN66 2000 lb bombs in 1/72 scale. As far as I can find, no one makes any, nor do I know of a kit where any have been provided. I was wandering whether anyone out there might know of a near-sized smaller type bomb in 1/48 or 1/32 scale?
As near as I can find, the bomb I'm looking for would have an L.O.A. of real 90.4", which in 1/72 works out to 1-7/16" or 34.5mm.
The length of the bomb body only is 70.00" in real life, or 1-1/8" or 21.5mm.
The diameter of the bomb body is 23.3 inches in real life or just a hair over 5/16" or 8.5mm or thereabouts.
What I am trying to do is substitute on of the larger scales' smaller bombs for the 1/72 2000 pounder.
It looks like this (not to scale):
Appreciate any ideas or leads, as I need two of these...
