L/F: 1/72 Huntington BL.755 CBU's

They are supposed to be Rockeyes which I think the RAF Jags may have used in the Gulf War

Yes, they might well be. It looks like they've tried to mold them with the fins deployed for some reason.

Should be CBU-87s with CEM bomblets for the Gulf Jags, rather than Rockeye variants.  '87 is about a third fatter than Rockeyes.  But yes the fins are deployed on that model.

Plain BL.755s weren't suitable for medium-altitude drops.

I think the italeri and Airfix GR5/7 come with loads of BL755....Airfix has 7 if memory is correct...

Hmm! Thanks! I'll keep an eye out.

Hasegawa 1/72 F-16 kits all have a pair of those in the weapons sprue, like Snowtrooper wrote back on page 2(reply#20) of this thread.Here's a close up of them.



They're the ones you're looking for, right?

[Old Wombat]

Yep, they're the ones.

I have an F-16 kit in 1/72 but I don't think it's Hasegawa (it's in a box in the shed amongst the stash).

1/72 is a bit awkward for me, as I mostly build 1/48 aircraft now, so buying a kit just for a couple of bombs is an inefficient use of my modelling funds, I'm afraid.



By the way, it seems I have been remiss in not responding to posts here, so I would like to say; "Thank you all, gentlemen, I have viewed your posts & have investigated but, so far, no real luck."
