Warris Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Evening everyone, I'm trying to find a 1/48 540lb bomb and 540lb with 960 fuze for my Herrick Harrier, does anyone know if these are availble? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobski Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG899 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi Al, This may help you scratch build them... Length: 7ft 2ins (2.18m), Diameter: 1ft 1in (0.33m). Hope that helps. Cheers Nick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warris Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 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 Will hopefully get them look like these 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
