Here is something that should prove to be useful for anyone modeling aircraft from the Vietnam War onward. This set includes two 500 lb MK.82 'snake eye' bombs. In addition, there are a variety of other bits and pieces.

The bomb itself is in two parts, just like the real thing. Pylon or TER lugs are also included. You also get conical nose plugs, Mk 43 Target Detecting nose pieces, M904 Mechanical Impact Fuzes, M953A1 Mechanical Time Fuzes and two Fuse extenders. This set is superbly molded as are all Master Details sets.  As with all resin kits, a small amount of clean-up is required to remove molding flash and sprue gates. Specific instructions are provided for doing this so you get a clean attachment.

The set comes with complete assembly and painting instructions for all the bits and pieces. As with all Master Details resin sets, the molding is flawless.
