Russian Bombs Question

Hey, anybody happen to have scaled images of the FAB vs KAB bombs?  I have a tree full of FABs (thankyou Trumpy Tu-16) and yesterday while working (the job's very labour intensive, not mental intensive - too much time to think) I had the idea of modifying the 500kg bombs at the least, into KAB-series bombs, or at least giving them KAB guidance modules and modified tails.  I was just wondering what kind of labour would be involved in the process - I know smoothing out the mushroom heads might be a good start, the tail rings would wisely go, and I'd probably want to drill some sprue down the center of the fins, not to mention doing the nose-pin - either the bulked cylinder of the TV guidance, finned cone of Laser guidance, or the smooth cone of satellite guidance, but I'm just trying to figure out if they aren't longer or something.

Assistance appreciated!

How did you go with this?  I also have some drawings if you still require them.

Far as I know, Greg, they aren't really anything, maybe they're OFZAB series bombs in the kit, with a bit of a mashup on the nosecap, but hey, precision guided HE-Frag-Incendiary bombs would be something you do not want to deal with.  I'll figure something out with them I'm sure.
