geedubelyer Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi people, Anyone know where I should look to find plain, straight forward 500lb Mk82 bombs? There are some in the Tamiya F-14 kit but they have the ballute tail. Ideally I would like the plain conical tailed version. I intend to try to build a stop-gap GBU-38 JDAM for my F-15 until Dave Roof finishes his 1/32nd versions. Any help is much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 IIRC, the ones in the F-14 kit are Snakeyes. The new tool Revell Tornado kits have the ballute tails. Mk 82 slicks are in some of the Tamiya F-4 kits (C/D, F-4J Marines, and F-4E), the Academy F/A-18 kits, and I think Trumpeter kits like the F-105 and A-7, plus their US weapons set.

geedubelyer Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi Larry, the Academy Bug bits sound useful if they are the plain Mk 82s, that would be perfect, thank you. Let me know how this works please. I have some bits for swaps if there is anything you might need. I don't plan on using ordnance on my F-14 and the remaining weapons on the F-15E are up for grabs too. I also did n't use any missiles on my Trumpeter Flanker so I have a full set left over.........(or do I cross your palm with silver? :D ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 i would be interrested in accuracy: which of the availble kit bombs is the most accurate? all of them are different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maverick728470 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Geedubleyer, Will check the bug parts i have to make sure on what i have.If u have a part number as to the slicks in the bug kit.That would help.Let me know and take it from there.Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maverick728470 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 KarlH, Yes,There is a difference in each type of bomb.But i need to know which ones u need and then i can check it out for u and let u know.Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 KarlH,Yes,There is a difference in each type of bomb.But i need to know which ones u need and then i can check it out for u and let u know.Larry Since he wants to model GBU-38, he needs MK-82/BSU-33 conical fin bombs without the fuze extenders as a starting point. Why Academy even tooled the fuze extenders puzzles me, as they have never been an authorized Hornet fuzing option as far as I know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Me too Larry, I would n't know one if it jumped up and bit me on the nose :lol: Here's a pic of what I'm trying to build. Ignore the cage on the nose as this is the JDAM part (I think :wacko: ). I just need the bomb bit if you can help. Like this... and if you,ve got one with this kind of nose...... perfect Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) Get the Mk. 82 from either the Academy F-18 or Tamiya F-4. I've got a gazillion and would be happy to send you what you need. Do you have any good, clear walkarounds of the GBU-38? I can send you those, too, if it'll help your project. Boy, do you need my book! :) ;) Jake Edited August 18, 2007 by jmel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi Dave,I can send you a sprue of Mk 82 slick bombs for free if you like, let me know if you require any GBU or missiles and I will oblige. Regards, Hi Keith, very interested in what you have to offer. I apologise for not getting back to you sooner......I was on my hols in France! Please get in touch again soon, thanks. Regards, Guy. :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
