Id. aerial bombs

It's rather not the SD 1700, as the body is cylindrical, and the tail is too short.
The SC 1800 seems to be a perfect match.

Hi Grzesio

Well, I suppose you are right. The fins also seem shorter than on the SD1700...

On the other hand, another image from Ebay. I think SC500 bombs

No details can be seen, but I think you are right.
It even seems, the bombs in the 2nd row are smaller, so we could have SC 500 in front and SC 250 behind them?

Thanks, Grzesio

It is possible but it is difficult to ensure. Being further away they could seem smaller due to the effect of distance

Hi all,

I think a ZC50 bomb on a Fi 156 Storch

Could this bomb be a SD1700 ??

Depends on the lenght I guess (compare it with the width of the He 177 wing?): The SC-1000 (2,8 metre), SD-1700 (3,3 metre) or SC-1800 (3,5 metre) are pretty much identical in apparance otherwise.

Well, SD 1700 and SC 1800 are similar in their layout, but pretty easy to tell apart though - e.g. tapered body of the SD 1700 is quite distinctive.

Thank you for the drawing, Grzesio
