Rob de Bie Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm currently researching F-84F weapons, mainly in Dutch air force service (RNLAF). One item that puzzled me quite badly is this practice bomb rack. I found only reference to it, and there it's called a R-3. I *think* that this simple design evolved somewhat later, for use on the German and possibly Belgian air forces, with an aerodynamic fairing at the front, and possibly a stepped carriage for the front and rear bombs. But that's about all I found. Anyone?? Thanks in advance! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jari, many thanks again! Even with dimensions, more than I hoped for! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob de Bie Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 As an addition to the above: I compared the dimensions of the AF/B37K-1 as listed in the O-2 manual to the German and Belgian practice bomb carriers in the Daco 1/48 F-104 set, and they match pretty well. I'm a happy modeler Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
