This collection encompasses the complete spectrum of aerial munitions from WWII strategic bombing campaigns through modern precision-strike operations. General purpose bombs include the iconic M-117 750-pound bomb widely deployed in Vietnam, the versatile AN-M64 500 lb bomb used throughout WWII and Korea, and the complete Mark 80 series including Mk 81 250-pound, Mk 82 500-pound, Mk 83 1000-pound, and Mk 84 2000-pound bombs that remain standard ordnance for modern air forces worldwide.

Precision-Guided and Laser-Guided Munitions

Modern strike aircraft require precision-guided weapons, and MPM Hobbies delivers authentic replicas of the most significant smart bombs in aviation history. The GBU-24 Paveway III laser-guided bomb represents the pinnacle of precision strike capability used extensively in Desert Storm and subsequent conflicts, while the BOLT-117 laser-guided bomb (GBU-1/B) showcases early precision-guided munition technology from Vietnam. The GBU-15 unpowered glide bomb provides standoff strike capability, while the AASM-250 Hammer represents modern European precision-guided munition technology deployed on Rafale and Mirage aircraft.

Specialized Ordnance and Historical Weapons

Beyond general purpose bombs, this collection includes specialized munitions that defined specific combat roles and historical periods. Incendiary weapons feature the M-32 500lb incendiary bomb and BLU-1B napalm canister used extensively in Southeast Asia.

Premium 3D-Printed Resin Quality

Every bomb in this collection is manufactured by MPM Hobbies using advanced 3D-printing technology that captures fine details impossible with traditional injection molding. Each ordnance piece features crisp panel lines, accurate suspension lug configurations, authentic fuze assemblies, and correct fin geometries based on technical documentation and photographic references. Multi-piece sets provide exceptional value, with most bombs packaged in sets of 2 to 4 pieces, allowing modelers to create fully loaded aircraft or build multiple models from a single purchase. The resin material accepts paint readily and requires minimal cleanup, making these bombs ideal for both experienced modelers and those new to resin aftermarket products.
