Is there a concensus out there as two the best bet is for 1/72 scale
WWII 250 and 500 lb bombs? I am doing a P-40 with a 500 on the
centerline and a 250 under each wing. I am using the Academy kit with a
Hasegawa kit as backup.

The Academy kit has a nice 500, better shape than the Academy offering,
both have good detail. Neither offer 250s.

More legwork came up with Bill's suggestion, True Details 1/72 US 250
lb Bombs and Airways AW7129 250 lb Bomb Fns.

Any idea where I can get these? Anyone have two bomb's worth that they
can spare?

TIA
