How about a coconut-laden swallow? African?

Only if it's the Mk3B, as previous marks didn't see service in WW2.........

Does anyone know where I can get 1/48 cluster bombs for a B-25?

There's a relatively new set of WW2 USAAF ordnance available, but I'm not sure who makes it! It's one of the main runners though, Hasegawa, Tamiya, Revell or maybe Academy I think. I saw the price and forgot about it! I think it was around £9 or£10 in the UK, which seems a lot for about 20+ items. Not sure about there being a cluster bomb in the set - don't quite know what a WW2 US example looked like, if there was one.

I am looking for the bombs in the right photo.

I think your talking about these DBII

Ah, those! Parachute retarded fragmentation bombs. It was the descriptiion of 'cluster bomb' which threw me, as that's a slightly different animal. I honestly don't know if these were in the kit I saw, as the box-art picture was rather small, but they shouldn't be too difficult to convert from a suitably sized 1/48th scale bomb if not in the kit. There were certainly depth charges, which are a similar shape and, next to them, a smaller weapon which might have been para frags, although the pic wasn't very clear.

OPPS brain cramp, thats the one. I have been trying to find after market bombs but only can find 500 lbs. I know where I can find some.

Thanks

I was wondering if a Bf 110 carrying bombs can be entered to this GB? Just checking to be sure.

 

[Airframes]

Sure Igor. Any aircraft used in WW2 for bombing/ground attack/anti-shipping etc. So a Bf110 with bombs is fine.

 

[imalko]

Thanks Terry.

 

[Airframes]

You're welcome !

 

[DBII]

Ok, were are the Russian and Japanese birds?

[Airframes]

Well there's a Russian TB3, albeit in Chinese service, but no one has yet entered anything Japanese, or Soviet. There's time yet though........

YES! Another Bf-110 to grace these pages!

As long as Guttorm doesn't enter his complete Kampf Geschwader of 1/32nd scale JU88's! How the heck would we judge that lot!!!

 

[109ROAMING]

Am I able to participate in this GB with a partly started Airfix Lanc ? ( dashed abit of black on the underwings/lower fuse)

 

[Crimea_River]

I vote yes. I had started a small amount of my Me-262. I'm sure the judges won't have a problem with that.
