Brandy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Does anyone know the dimensions of the Type 1 Universal bomb rack as fitted to the Fairey Battle? Or better still, was it the same rack as fitted to other types that are available in PE? Thanks, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 The same type as what? Is it available in PE listed for another type? Thanks, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ian Its a universal carrier, its something not particular to one type of aircraft. The same item was used an all other RAF aircraft of the period, which is what I assumed you were asking as you did not specify a scale. You can find them in other kits, in White metal for 1/72 and are probably available as a PE component as part of a update set for other aircraft types.

Brandy Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Thanks Selwyn. I'm aware that it is the same as used on other types, I just want to know if it's available in PE, maybe listed as a part for a different aircraft, and if so, which one.

Chuck1945 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Assuming 1/72, I think there is a set for the Swordfish that includes them. Probably Eduard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs73 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Are you talking the E.M / M.F No 1 Universal Bomb Carrier as per the link below: http://www.aussiemodeller.com.au/pages/Reviews/Conversions/RRR7217 Red Roo Universla Bomb Carrier.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Yes, thanks guys. I've gone overboard and ordered both the Red Roo cast brass and the Marabu PE and will probably end up using bits of each, plus some additions. Yes, it's 1:72, for my ongoing Airfix Battle build here. Thanks for the pointers! Ian Edited January 12, 2019 by limeypilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
