What type of ordnance are these bombs
Posted by Arespontus on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 9:35 PM

Hello

I am working on an A-10 Warthog 1:72 by Revell

Here is the box cover of the aircraft

Can someone tell me what type of ordnance is being used on the outer 3 pylons on the wings

Thank you

Scott

They look like the Paveway II's GBU 10 or GBU 12 in the reference book I just checked..

I looked up the GBU 10

which is apparantly a 2000lb bomb

and

which is a 500lb bomb

If this is the old Monogram kit reboxed, they're too small for GBU-10's  (2000 lb) and too big for GBU-12's (500 lb). Split the difference and call them GBU-16's? (1000 lb)
