    Hi
    I have quite a few, as I have an interest in WW2 Bomb Disposal, I have a 50kg bomb with type 15 fuse, I also have a type 25 and the dreaded type 17 clockwork fuse.
    Try looking at ‘ dugup’ website, they have a lot of type 25 fuses for sale.
    They also sell a very good copy of the Crabtree defuser.

    QUOTE=Southern Air99;2274804]Having recently re-watched and been thoroughly enthralled by the series Danger UXB, and read James Owen’s wonderful book on the topic of WWII British BD, I was wondering if there is any way of obtaining any German bomb fuzes, such as the types: 15,17(a), 25, 50, Y.
    I imagine they are quite hard to come by these days, but I was contemplating attempting to get a couple and perhaps build a small collection eventually as I find the subject very interesting indeed.
    If anyone happens to know of any or can provide links to any on sale online I’d be most grateful.

    Regards

    Chris

    You wouldn’t happen to have a link, I’ve looked on dugup before, didn’t now about the type (25)s

    I think a film about ww2 bomb disposal would be an interesting idea, something like Danger UXB, make an interesting change from ‘usual’ themes.
    Benedict Cumberbatch as Brian Ash xD

    Piece of Cake for the big screen? This time with Hurricanes.

    I’d love to see this put on the big screen, it could be viable after all it does have an American who plays a good role, hopefully enough for US sales.
    Some might not like the fact it steps away form the ‘usual’ format of BofB related films (the sense of constant high morale and a Battle of Britain equivalent of the ‘Blitz Spirit’)

    Oh dear…

    I have just thought “Someone ought to build a diorama”.

    I haven’t even started the one I want to do…

    Just need a Heller Spitfire XVI or Revell if you want something a bit larger (other kits are available)

    It’s like with the Dad’s Army movie coming up next Feb I think, and the Dambusters Re-make (whether that’s still happening?) It is quite hard to make any remake be as good let alone better than the original I think.
    Mind you, it would be pretty exciting all the same, all these Buchon’s and Spits and more Hurris than before hopefully, but ‘einkels….well…end up CGI probably.

    In my humble opinion it would have made about as much difference as posting my opinion in this thread or not…I.e. zilch, considering the poster seems to take no interest in the replies

    Clearly a misunderstanding from you here Southern Air99, if you read my full post and context you will see also I too was standing up for the person who started this interesting and personal post and my annoyance was at “Nachtjagd” who stepped in with an irrelevant Shoreham reference. I am fully in agreement with you here.

    Sincerest apologies, a clear misunderstanding on my part.

    Sorry I can’t find the rules of this forum that defines mine as pointless and your retort not?

    I was just trying to stand up for the person who started this thread who had a genuine and valid inquiry, with no malice or provocation intended, who you answered with an uncalled for post with a rather rude tone to it…besides if you do not like the thread or whatever is your issue you do not have to look at the thread and can take pains to avoid it should you feel so strongly about it.

    In the light of the heavy losses to bomber crews some might find your forum name offensive. Additionally some may find your instant and unfounded accusational tone and pointless post without being informed whatsoever of the reason behind the request and no follow up or apology in light of the information here rude too.

    As for the considered and informed responses I never cease to be amazed by he knowledge and access to information followers of this forum have. I am now informed of tragedies I was not even aware of and I can remember and pay respects in my own way.

    Speaking of uninformed, pointless and high handed posts…

    I think I’m going to focus more on PZ468 QM-D, that is the kit I have decided to make
