NA72012 Source: https://www.aviationmegastore.com/american-guided-bomb-asm-2n-bat-2-in-one-a-model-amdlna72012-aircraft-scale-modelling/product/?action=prodinfo&art=185159 Box art Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASM-N-2_Bat "The Privateer was the primary launch platform for the Bat, but other aircraft were also modified to launch the weapon, including the Vought F4U Corsair, Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, and Grumman TBF Avenger. The primary post-World War II aircraft to carry the weapon was the P-2 Neptune." V.P. Edited March 25, 2022 by Homebee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Club Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Let's hope to see other models of WW2 US guided bombs and also more nuclear bombs (Soviet and US) in 1/72 scale ! A conversion kit for Aphrodite B-17s would be welcome too ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat on a Privateer BTW, is that a natural metal finish? Yes its at China Lake test center post war. There is a website dedicate to China lake and I’ve see this photo there. Here is a link to the site. About half way down the 1947 page is a stripped PB4Y and could be the same one. It still has paint on the moving surfaces and cowlings. http://www.chinalakealumni.org/1947/1947mo.htm Edited January 19, 2022 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
