WWII GP 500lb Bomb - M64

thingiverse

This is a WW2 era, M64 General Purpose (GP) and a cradle to rest it on. It's scaled for a 1/12th scale B-24. The Liberator could carry 8000 lbs of bombs, usually 16-500 pounders. It scales pretty well, one picture shows it printed as a 100lb, 250lb, 500lb, 1000lb and a huge 2000lb. A liberator could carry four 2000lb bombs, one in each bomb bay. Print it at 200x and you have 1/6 scale. Included is the stand the armorers used to assemble the bombs. For the 1 stand print 2 of each part. There is a very slight groove at the nose and at the rear of the Body for painting the yellow stripes, a yellow Paint Marker pen works great for that. The best would be to print in Olive Drab and switch to yellow at those two places. The following scales are for 1/12th scale aircraft.
