Junkers 52 bomber help

[cduckworth]

Any photos or diagrams around showing how the openings for vertical bombs looked?  I’ve got the large Junkers Ju-52 book by Crecy but there’s nothing provided in it.  They do cover the lower dust bin in an illustration.  One written source says it carried two bombs and other four.  Appreciate any information

Here is shown, how the bottom side of fuselage (and cabin floor) should look like (I think the front of floor is on top of figure as  the rear of ventral part ) : 

This is the discontinued set by Owl.  It look that two bomb "wardrobes" were on front, a bid a side, the third one was behind the gunner position and in axis of symmetry. 

The ventral gunner gondola alone was also produced once upon a time

I hope it will help. I am going to do such conversion as scratch since the OWL set is not available (only decals you can buy now).

Thanks for the posting. Too bad Owl stopped producing these.

Similar "wardrobe" for bombs are in He111 kits from Hasegawa, Roden or Revell. It is also not a big problem for sratch work
