Videoaviation, Wolfpack or CAM (long fuses) ones? they seem all different (concerning the tip) TIA. F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Luca, Either would be correct; which one is best detailed in your opinion is the only question. Fusing requirement; nose, tail, both or extended dependent on mission. Barry Luca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesTROYer Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Wouldn't there always be a nose fuse? I use to think that too, but no, not always. Some times you want the bomb to go off after its hit the target, not when. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Can't speak for Wolfpack ones but the Videoaviation ones are lovely. Easy assembly with no cutting resin off thin fins and good value with an entire MER per pack. Solid dealer who looked for cheapest shipping option to. Will buy from them again.

Tony T Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Wouldn't there always be a nose fuse? IIRC the pointy ones are electronic contact fuzes. The propeller vaned nose and tail units (latter mounted on the side of the rear, not the extreme tail if they're anything like Mk.82s) are more common for Vietnam ca.65-72.

Luca Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Easy assembly with no cutting resin off thin fins and good value with an entire MER per pack. I was thinking just same thing... taking advantage of a whole set (x6) on a ventral MER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Have the US Navy mk.82s changed in design since the vietnam war? Can i use these https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/jzlokstvu51k8gyshovb.html?t=1588265253 on a VF-51 F-4 Phantom 1972? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
