slightly off topic and a strange request, does anyone know of any images of the 'bombs' carried by the B.52 in the film, iv a hankering to make a model of one :)

the front end is pretty easy to find information on its the rear thats problematic as well as an approx length ?



cheers, Joe

Someone does a model of the bomb with the "cowboy" riding it  :rolleyes: Resin and is in one of the figure scales

It is 90mm (1/18th) and only has the nose of the bomb.

That's the one Phil. When I saw it at a show the modeller had obviously scratched the rest of the bomb

IIRC there is a model of the bomb around in Resin which comes with a card cutout of Major Kong.  I seem to remember seeing such a model a few years ago online somewhere.  Cannot remember where though.

Card model here - it's the fourth one down. Just click and it'll download the .zip file containing the pattern.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

That link takes you into a whole new world of total insanity!  ;D :lol:

I just found a downloadable card model of the International Space Station that takes up a space of eight FEET by six FEET by five FEET!!!!!  :o :o

And I was worried about how much space a 1/72 scale airship would take...........
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Must admit I normally spend 30mins or so every year admiring the card models that are usually at the Milton Keynes show
