1/32 Scale Aircraft Bombs and Aerial Ordnance

Aerial bombs are the defining detail of a strike aircraft model, and 1/32 scale gives them the presence they deserve. At this size, fin geometry, fuze assemblies, suspension lugs, and stencil markings are all clearly visible on a finished build. MPM Hobbies designs and 3D prints this category in resin, which holds fine surface detail and takes paint readily with minimal preparation.

General Purpose and Guided Ordnance

General purpose bombs form the backbone of most loadouts across eras, from wartime demolition weapons through the standard low-drag bodies used by modern air forces. Guided munitions add seeker heads, canards, and tail units that change the whole silhouette of a store. Building a mix of both lets you represent how a single airframe's role shifted over its service life.

Specialized and Historical Weapons

Beyond general purpose bodies, aerial ordnance includes incendiary weapons, armor-piercing and semi-armor-piercing bombs, heavy demolition types, and anti-submarine stores. Each family has its own proportions, fin style, and colour conventions, which is what makes them worth modelling accurately. Reference photographs of the era and air arm you are building keep the details honest.

Painting and Finishing Resin Ordnance

Wash resin parts in warm soapy water, sand any support witness marks, and prime before colour so the paint keys properly. Bomb bodies reward a smooth base coat with carefully masked bands and stencils, and a light wash brings out panel and seam detail. Fit stores to the airframe after its paint and decals have fully cured to avoid handling damage.
