    1/48 CBU-89 Gator Cluster Bomb (Set of 2)

    Add authentic ordnance detail to your 1/48 scale aircraft models with this CBU-89 Gator cluster bomb set. The GATOR mine system represents a significant advancement in air-dropped anti-tank and anti-personnel mine technology, developed in the 1980s for compatibility with existing cluster dispensers.

    Historical Background

    The GATOR mine system is a United States military system of air-dropped anti-tank and anti-personnel mines developed in the 1980s to be compatible with existing cluster dispensers. It is used with two dispenser systems—the Navy 230 kg (500 lb) CBU-78/B and the Air Force 450 kg (1,000 lb) CBU-89/B. Additionally, the mines are used with the land and helicopter based Volcano mine system.
