LF Atomic Bombs, 1/72

[rickshaw]

I'm looking generally for Atomic Bombs, not the original two but later ones.  Specifically, I'm looking for a Mk.7 Atomic Bomb - carried by USAF tactical bombers in the late 1950s but anything which is an Atomic Bomb shape would be OK as well.  I'm aware of the Belcher Bits RAF Atomic Bombs in resin but I'm interested to see what else is out there...

Italeri/Testors US/NATO Aircraft Arms/Armament set in 1/72 has a pair of B61 insta-sunshines. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to part with mine as I acquired a couple of sets with these in mind...

Freightdog announced a 1/72 Mk.7 earlier in the year Brian.

Mind you, I've been pondering how to put this in rubber so I don't have to cut it apart



It's going on one of my F-84's

I've put together another where I found a photo of it in the F-105 in Action book

Doesn't appear on their website any more.

Well, the classic way would be to cut it apart, with the tail separate to the body.  As you don't want to do that, I'd suggest you place it vertically in the moulding material and cut a funnel to the nose.  You'll have to work on the individual pieces' noses to bring them into alignment but it should do what you want.   You might end up with short-shot fins though.

What are the bombs on the right there?

I don't think they have ever appeared, Colin just announced them.  You could enquire about them and see what the score is.

They are from the Italeri B-58 kit, I modified one to how the photo of the Mk.28 looked, (at least I think it's a Mk.28, the book doesn't really say [pic is on page 20 of the F-105 in Action, No 185])

Here you can see the shape dead center painted white.

The two 'shapes' on the rack is for installing in one of the B-47's I have, but they should really look like the one beside the Mk.7

The Trumpeter Vigilante has the MK43 and MK28 US nukes but they are possbly a little too modern and conventional for your tastes. Model Art Decals do the French Nukes AN22 and the smaller AN52.

I've got an airfix TSR-2 nuclear bomb, its probably far too modern for what you want but its up for grabs if you want

Don't Belcher Bits do a whole set ?

They do but they are exclusively of British nuclear weapons, whereas I am specifically after American Mk.7 tactical nukes.

Sorry. If I had read your first post properly
