1/48 MPM Clusters and Dispensers

Complete Your Strike Aircraft's Specialized Loadout

MPM Hobbies' 1/48 scale cluster bomb collection represents specialized area-effect munitions with museum-quality accuracy. From the legendary Mk-20 Rockeye cluster bomb that revolutionized anti-armor warfare to modern combined-effects weapons like the CBU-89 Gator and specialized munitions like the BLU-107 Durandal anti-runway bomb, each replica is engineered to deliver exceptional detail and historical accuracy for your aircraft builds.

Historical Coverage & Applications

Our cluster bomb collection spans multiple eras of tactical air warfare. The Mk-20 Rockeye became the standard anti-armor cluster bomb during Vietnam, carried by F-4 Phantoms, A-4 Skyhawks, and A-7 Corsairs for devastating attacks against armored columns and vehicle concentrations. The CBU-89 Gator represented a major advancement with combined anti-tank mines and anti-personnel submunitions, extensively used during Desert Storm. The French-designed BLU-107 Durandal provided specialized runway-cratering capability with its rocket motor and delayed fuze. Tactical dispensers like the SUU-30 and SUU-42/A flare pod provided countermeasure and tactical munition delivery. Compatible with popular 1/48 scale aircraft kits from all eras.

Modeling Tips & Techniques

For best results, carefully clean all parts and test-fit cluster bombs and dispensers to your aircraft's pylons before assembly. These munitions feature fine surface details that respond beautifully to panel line washes and subtle weathering. Cluster bombs typically show minimal weathering when freshly loaded, with distinctive colored bands indicating fuze settings and munition type. The Durandal's rocket motor section can be painted in contrasting colors to highlight its unique design. Dispenser pods may display paint chipping around opening mechanisms and handling marks on the body. Reference photos are invaluable for accurate color schemes and pylon configuration specific to your aircraft type and operational era.
