melk Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hi, I am looking for some ordnance to hang on a 1/48 Fairey Barracuda. I found some at Hannants in the UK, but still can't find a proper torpedo or bombs. If you have some I have some Hasegawa modern weapons as possible trade bait, or I can buy them outright. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbody Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Are the bombs for under the wings or under the fuselage? Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melk Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hi Chris, The Barracuda carried bombs under the wings and a torpedo in the bay as far as I can tell. There may have bombs or depth charges in the bay also. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbody Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 They could and did carry bombs under the fuselage. They were fitted with US 1600 lb. armour-piercing bombs when they attacked the Tirpitz in Norway. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
