Modelkeenfan Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi all Can anyone tell me what bombs could be carried on the russian MBD2-67U MER? Was it just FAB 100 and OFAB 100s? Or could the carry larger RBK250 cluster bombs or FAB 250s? similar on them? Any help appreciated Cherrs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Modelkeenfan Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi guys Sorry for that. I'd just forgotten I'd already started that on another thread. But from memory, I didn't get a definite answer. I was reading that the Russians carried 4 RBK 250s on the MBD2-67U as the outer casing was only 5mm thick so not so heavy. So can we put this question to bed once and for all and just tell me if they carried RBK 250 cluster bombs on the MBD2-67U racks or just ZAB 100s, FAB 100s and OFAB 100s? I'm doing a mig-23 and want to put 4 MBD2-67U racks on her Adam Afghanistan bird. I will also do a Mig21 as an Afghanistan bird as well but haven't decided if I put on single cluster bombs or MERs. So sorry guys if you can just give me your answer and I promise I cease this topic!!!!! I must have had a couple beers when I posted the thread again ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Modelkeenfan Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 And sorry guys one last thing. Can anyone tell me what type pylon they mounted the MBD2-67U MER on under the wings on the Mig23 which replaced the R-23 missile pylon. Was it the same pylon they used to mount the MBD2-67U under the wing on the SU25? Thanks for any info Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you read that? The "250" in RBK-250 should specify the overall weight of that particular bomb. The MBD-2U-67 is rated for four bombs weighing 100kg each only. Four RBK-250s on a MBD-2U-67 shouldn't work weight-wise. Don't know if they would even fit in terms of length. For heavier weapons on the wing glove station of a MiG-23/27, there's the twin store carrier MBD-3-2UT-1, which can accommodate two weapons of 250kg or 500kg each in tandem. 16 hours ago, Modelkeenfan said: <...>Can anyone tell me what type pylon they mounted the MBD2-67U MER on under the wings on the Mig23 which replaced the R-23 missile pylon.

When a MBD-2U-67 is used, it is attached to that pylon. On the Su-25, the MBD-2U-67 attaches to the Su-25's wing pylons directly. 16 hours ago, Modelkeenfan said: <...> So sorry guys if you can just give me your answer and I promise I cease this topic!!!!! <...> No problem! Just thought it was odd as you asked that very question earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Modelkeenfan Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Thanks for that. Now the question is where can I get 2 BD-60-23 pylons? Are they in any of trumpeters mig kits? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The Trumpeter 1/32 kits have them. Zactoman also makes a set, I think. The Trumpeter 1/48 kits also have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Modelkeenfan Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I forgot to ask. Did they mount all 4 of the bomb racks to the BD-60-23 pylons? Or just the bomb racks under the wings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Modelkeenfan Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Ok guys we can end the thread!!!!! I have Zacto man's Mig23 correction set and that includes 4 BD-60-23 pylons. So I'm all set. Thanks to all who gave me info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
