Thudnutz Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I want to assemble a 1/72 scale F-105D that was flown by Capt. Bill "Black Bart" Bartholmas, during "Operation SPRING- HIGH" on 27 July 1965, to knock-out SAM Missile Sites...... Watch a super detailed CGI video on U-Tube.."Operation Spring High" (about 29-minutes) The video shows the F-105's armed with CBU-2's (2-each on the Centerline MER, and 1-each on the Starboard & Port Outboard Pylons. Try as I might, I can't find any pictures or diagrams of a CBU-2 Dispenser, and none on Hasegawa's Weapons Sets. If anyone can point me to pictures or disgrams of the CBU-2 Dispenser, or know of a source for aftermarket CBU-2's, I sure would be beholden to 'ya ! Capt. Bartholmas's aircraft was Ser# 10177 BUZZ NUMBER FH-177. 357th TFS Call Sign: "Pepper-2".. Gerald T. "Jerry" Robinson Duluth, MN USA "THUDNUTZ" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 The CBU-2 used the SUU-7 dispenser, no kits or aftermarket of them are available: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thudnutz Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks a bunch Finn.......I didn't think I'd have any luck on this one.....I should be able to 'whittle-one-out' from a 'hank-of-sprue-styrene' ....(maybe) ! Again, thanks........and that YOU-TUBE Video, "Operation Spring High" is well worth watching for THUD and Viet Nam Air War modelers...(watching the bomblets 'spew out of the Dispensers.. is 'awesome) !....

Finn Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Here are some pics of a SUU-7 on a F-100, scroll down a bit: http://www.f-100.org/hun008.shtml also the dispensers could only be loaded on the outboard pylons of a F-105 since the bomblets come out the back and with the angle of MER, they would bounce off the bottom of the a/c. You could also use the front end of a rocket pod either RAF/French or Russian one. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
