What kind of BOMB RELEASE do I need for these?
Picked them up cheap at a swap meet. Might as well drop them from a warbird! Hopefully the release mechanism is still available.....

They are the Vortac, which is long out of bussiness. They do pop up for sale in the market Place or the bay from time to time. Top Flite used to make bombs and fuel tanks for the Gold Edition kits that also use the Vortac release. Good Luck, Dave

Damn! Out of business! No wonder these were so cheap.
Do you want to sell yours, MobyAl?

Hey guys,
Yellow Aircraft sells a Vortec "style" bomb release in two or three sizes. I picked mine up at Toledo. The smaller version looks identical to the original Vortec version.

Ihave two Vortac "Release Mechanism[s] Mk II "and two bombs if you're interested. All are new in (Ithink)the original plastic packs. Looks as if the releases were orginally sold individually in separate packs. One is still in its single pack. The other is in a pack w/ two Vortac bombs.
Ihave no idea what they're worth. The price on the packs is $6.98 US and I probably bought them sometime in the early 1980s. Just make me an offer.
