REVIEW BY: Jean – Paul POISSEROUX
NOTES:

RESIN, Metal, Photo etched parts

 

 

This reference contains two 500LB bombs, with 2 resin bodies, 4 white metal parts, 74 photo etched parts.  As some of these last ones are common to the other bombs references, many of them will not be used. A maximum of 19 p/e parts per bomb, if you choose the front fuse extension in white metal (option).  These elements are well delimited with separation line on the fret and grouped together, the tiny area called COMMON PARTS is for the 2 upper fixing points (you’ll have to add a home made rod – in white on pictures) and the extremities of the fus.  Nothing special to say about construction, after a fine sanding action to clear the molding line on the resin body, each fin at the rear is composed of 3 parts to glue together. These bombs are loaded on F-4, F-16, F-14, F-15E without TER , and on F/A-18 with TER pylon .

This set well replace the basic ordnance we found on the aircraft kits.
