Stuka Question

Post by MIGMADMAVIS » Sat Feb 24, 2007 2:51 pm

Hi there, I dont know if this has been asked alreay, but the undercarriage bomb on the 32x stuka, is it to small???? I looked at the 1/18, and it is absolutely not the same size comparison??? Am I wrong? :? :?

It is smaller, but could easily be a lighter-weight bomb. It is still accurate!

T man is exactly correct. The Stuka carried two weight bombs. I always wondered why 21st went with the bigger bomb on the 1:18 version and the smaller bomb on the 1:32 version.

If you check out a place like Squadron, I think they may sell bomb "kits" and you could upsize the bomb on your 1:32 Stuka. The small bomb is correct but not as eye-catching as the bigger bomb.

however, the smaller bomb was more commonly carried than the bigger bomb. (500kg vs 1000kg).

But i still like the bigger one. :)

The bigger one is more eye appealing by far. What was the difference in explosion power from the little and big one.
