Compatible with popular 1/48 scale aircraft kits from all eras.

Modeling Tips & Techniques

For best results, carefully clean all parts and test-fit suspension lugs to your aircraft's bomb racks before assembly. These bombs feature fine surface details that respond beautifully to panel line washes and subtle weathering. General purpose bombs typically show minimal weathering when freshly loaded, while combat-used ordnance may display paint chipping on fins and handling marks on the body. Fuze details can be enhanced with careful painting—nose fuzes are often painted red or yellow for safety identification. Reference photos are invaluable for accurate color schemes, as bomb finishes varied by era, theater, and mission type.
