    Will the Blenni IVF have bombs?

    I found an airfix kit (so that's the extent of the research here) of an IVF circa The Fall of France. The box art showed it equipped with its gunpack and fuselage mounted external rack of 40lb (?) bombs to the rear.

    So, a) is this correct and b) will these be available in TF4.5 for the blenni IVF?

    I know the IVs are marked down for them.

    I know your are all busy so a yes or no would great but no reply will be understood.

    Thanks

    I think they confirmed it if i understud it correctly from that 4.5 details topic. First part is concerning IV and IVF Late, and secound part with bombs in bombbay is only for Mk.IVs

    "- Blenheim IV, IVF (Late) with twin Browning rear turret. Bomb load additions include eight, 40 pound fuselage mounted bombs. Blenheim IV also has the ability of caring at least 2, possibly 4 SBC’s in the main bay, each holding six 40 pound bombs. "

    I wonder if they had options of droping single 40lbs out of 8, or 2 at time, or one rack of 4 per time, or it was only option to drop all 8x40lbs at one time, hope not long to fined out

    Akula answered your question, as far as dropping bombs, the Hurribomber will drop all 8 at the same time. The Blenny racks will operate as racks, so front and rear. Drop the front rack, all 4 on that rack will drop.

    As for the SBCs, I'm still reading about them.
