Luftwaffe bomb sled???

Anyone have a picture of this sled. True details has a resin set (TD48520) and Im looking for ref. pic’s.

Thanks

Bomb sled? Are you sure you’re on the right forum? [%-)]

I saw this kingthad and did some searching and came up with big goose egg, I got nothing.

I may have a pic of it, but need to see what True Details’ sled looks like. I did a search for that part number and can’t find it. Do you have a link where I can view it? I may be interested in getting one for myself.

What would a bomb sled be used for?

I got it- LuftwaffaClaus!

Woo-hoo, I slay me sometimes… [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D]

Sorry… got carried away…

OMG Jon, that is BAD! PLEASE go back to your bench and build that Spitfire already! [swg]

Is this what you are looking for?

It’s the only thing I can think of that might be even close.

Hope it helps, if only for a laugh. [:D] On second thought, maybe this should go into a “Caption This” thread?

OK my friend, here’s what I found:

This one looks to be made of wood. Hope it helps! [tup]

Frank, Nice work. I think you nailed it there, however, after doing some more searching I found this, from of all people…Pixilater!!!

Here’s a pic from his website (At least I think this is more of what is being sought after here).

Image is from this link: http://www.pix.prettyneatinc.com/choices.htm

This is a link to his site to see more of his excellent work.

Where is Pix lately anyway? Really miss the guy.

Jon you are close, they used it to haul their Bar-b-Q.

Thank for the pic’s. I did not know if it was only used in the snow or not.

If you want to see the item I have go to squadron and punch in this item # TD48520

Verlinden put a set out years ago w/ some bombs that I have…this sled looks very close to the VLS one…

Yep, Pix says on that site build that it is the Verlinden PE/resin kit #1892.

I think I got the links backward on my last post. Here it is again for the Arado 234 with the Verlinden stuff. http://www.pix.prettyneatinc.com/ar234build.htm

Sorry for any confusion,

stinger

Here is my VLS sled w/ Arado:

Very nice build there!!

Ok, it’s definite now. I have to get a sled to go with my Bf109. [:D]

Thanks for bringing up this thread Thad!!

On Page 19 of Squadron’s March 2008 Flyer is a sketch of the True Details Luftwaffe Bomb with Sled # TD48520 $2.96.

As if sledding wasn’t dangerous enough! HAA! [swg]

What exactly was it used for [%-)]

To hear Jon tell it, he used it to pull his lunch box to work.
