Speedy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi everyone. From Videoaviation there are MK.83 bombs "slick" body available in 1/32 scale. From which era can i use them for a load out? Kind regards, Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exgbuloader Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Robert, That particular fin configuration would cover Vietnam clear through at least Desert Storm / Shield if not later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GW8345 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Mk 83's with conical fins (what ordnanceman call "Slick" bombs) has been in use since the mid 60's to today for the USN/USMC. To my knowledge, the USAF rarely uses Mk 83's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Speedy Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hi. I came up to this question, because I saw those bombs on ordnance list for F-104 Starfighters of the GAF. Thanks for the reply. Kind regards, Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exgbuloader Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Nope, the USA never used the MK-83 bomb body to my knowledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exgbuloader Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Sorry, USAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Speedy Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 GAF stands for German Air Force. Ordnance list of German Marines (Marine Flieger) shows them. Kind regards, Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
