4K ViewsContinuing my Real World slant, here are some World War 2 bombs and such.
I have added a selection from each country, these were ones that I either was able to find a few good images and able to work off from there, or were easily findable.
I do have a lot of "silhouettes" of USAAF bombs, I will attempt them soon enough.

USAAF's Tiny Tim - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Tim…
The 18inch Torpedo I listed under the RAF was the same one as was used by Swordfish biplanes, and is the same model that damaged the rudder on the Bismark.
Update 20/June/2014: Added some new USAAF bombs, updated a few that were incorrectly scaled, and added Bob in the RAF General Service Uniform
Update 11/July/2014: Added the RAF's bomb trolley, USN Mark 13 torpedo, and a little special of the USSR's RS-132 Rocket, and also done up in more realistic colouring.
Update 14/July/2014: Added the Stabo "spike" attachments for the SC250 and SC500's, Added ETC500 carrier (for mounting SC250 or SC500 to a fighter), Fixed the RAF 18incher to have the red nose that most had to denote "live warhead", Added the "Ruhrstahl X4" missile -- www.luft46.com/missile/x-4.htm…
Update 09/September/2014: Added the RAF's "Small Bomb Container", RAF's 1,000lb small fins, RAF's 2,000lb AP bomb, Added USAAF AN-M103 2,000lb SAP bomb, USAAF Codename "Littleboy" bomb (the nuke), Added Luftwaffe ER-4 carrier speculative (appears both lengths are classed as ER-4), Luftwaffe centreline drop tank for the Bf-109 fighter.
Also added some bomb loadouts I found for the Lancaster, not entirely sure if all of them were used, but quite interesting, and also changed the colour of the USAAF HVAR's to late-war colour marking.
Update 15/September/2014: Updated all colours to historically correct markings Tiny Tim and Mk1 Demolition bomb updated to more historically correct colouring, along with the Disney bomb, Added new bombs

Update 16/December/2014: Corrected RAF Names for the bombs, apparently I completely messed them up, also fixed a minor issue with the 270lb cluster.
Update 06/February/2015:
Added the Fat Man
Added the WB151/20 -- now, this was recently announced by Gaijin for the Ju-87 D5, after some hunting I found pictures that match with their pod but with no name, so I used that and with some of the images of the WB81z to make it.
Moved the 270lb cluster bomb and the RS-132
Update 09/July/2015:
