brewerjerry Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hi All , In anticipation of sometime getting my mitts on a SH 1:32 whirlwind Were bomb carriers for 250lb and 500lb the same carrier ? Or were there two types ? Cheers. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Another @Selwyn question. AFAIK on Hurricanes they were the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 This is from "Westland Whirlwind" 4+ Publications..."...By incorporating Mod. No.154 provision was made for carrying a total of 500lb or 1000lb bombload under the outer planes. A Mk.III Universal bomb carrier with side stays could be attached to the mounting cradle under the wing main spar wing joints. Either a pair of 250lb GP or SAP bombs, or 500lb GP, MC or SAP bombs or Small Bomb Containers (SBCs) with up to 250lb bombload could be carried...". Hope this helps somewhat Jerry.
