The only 540lb bombs I'm aware of were in the Airfix Buccaneer, but they were quite crude. Not sure if there are any others...

 

Thanks Bobski, i'll dig out my Buccaneer.

Hi Al,

This may help you scratch build them... Length: 7ft 2ins (2.18m), Diameter: 1ft 1in (0.33m).

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Nick

 

Thanks Nick, once i find the Buccaneer, i'll measure the up.

I've found the 540's using the measurements above, i'm looking at a scale length of 45.4mm and diameter of 6.9mm

 

These are going to need some fettling to make them accurate

Doh.

If only Andy and I had had access to photos like that when we were writing the GR9/T12 book Warris!

Happy fettling!

Cheers

That is typical, if you ever think of doing a 2nd edition give me a shout ^_^
