Hey guys! for some reason, I can't add the custom photos anymore sadly. To add to this, my PC fried, so my carrier project is on hold. Till then, have these WWII guided bombs and their launch platforms!

"The Junkers Ju 88 is a twin-engined multirole combat aircraft designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works. It was used extensively during the Second World War by the Luftwaffe and became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the conflict." - Junkers Ju 88


(there's literally no photos of the Bv246 being tested on a Junkers body, nor many photos of a gondola-less Junkers, so take this captured 88 as a token of apology)

I chose a Junkers 88 A14 as my basis for this launch platform because it was similar enough to an A4, while still being different enough to seem interesting.

"The Blohm & Voss BV 246 Hagelkorn (German language: "Hailstone") was a guided glide bomb developed to bomb specific targets (bridges, ships, etc.) once it was released." - Wikipedia, Blohm & Voss BV 246

"It was intended to be dropped from a Junkers Ju 88 or a Heinkel He 111 bomber, either of which could carry three of the weapons, and was to be dropped from a height of 7,000 m (23,000 ft) at a speed of 550 km/h (340 mph), giving it a range of up to 210 km (130 mi). In a slight dive the Bv 226 could reach a speed of 900 km/h (560 mph)." - Wikipedia, Blohm & Voss BV 246
