LF WWII British bombs and torpedoes


Recommended Posts

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

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

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.
