Add authentic Cold War-era anti-armor firepower to your 1/48 scale jet aircraft models with this precision 3D printed MK-20 Rockeye II cluster bomb set from MPM Hobbies. As one of the most effective anti-tank weapons of the Vietnam War era, the Rockeye represents a critical advancement in tactical air-to-ground ordnance—and now you can recreate that legacy with museum-quality detail on your A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, F-4 Phantom II, and other attack aircraft.
The CBU-100 Cluster Bomb, commonly known as the MK-20 Rockeye II, holds a distinguished place in military aviation history as one of America's most effective anti-tank cluster munitions. Developed during the Cold War to counter massed armor formations, the Rockeye entered service with both the US Navy and Air Force in the late 1960s. This revolutionary weapon quickly became standard armament for tactical strike aircraft, proving its effectiveness in combat operations from Vietnam through Desert Storm and beyond.
The MK-20 Rockeye II is an air-launched, conventional free-fall cluster bomb employed primarily in an anti-tank mode. Weighing 222 kg (490 lbs), the weapon carries 247 Mk 118 Mod 1 armor-piercing bomblets designed to penetrate armored vehicles from above. Upon release, the bomb's clamshell case opens at a predetermined altitude, dispersing the submunitions over a wide area to engage multiple targets simultaneously. The Mk 20, CBU-99, and CBU-100 variants were specifically optimized for use against armored vehicles, soft-skinned vehicles, and personnel in the open.
This MK-20 Rockeye II cluster bomb set is ideal for detailing the following 1/48 scale aircraft:
Item(s) is/are LCD-based SLA printed using UV cured resin and will be shipped unpainted and with 3D print supports attached. Item can be primed with acrylic, lacquer or enamel type paint. Lightly sand and/or prime any horizontal striations due to the printing process. Remove supports starting from the tip down and start by freeing those supports connected to small and fragile details. Recommend using CA for attaching item to model or filling any imperfections. Item(s) will have features that are brittle or extremely delicate and prone to breaking if not properly handled. 3D print support configurations may be different than the ones in the photos if applicable. Photos may include the CAD rendered file used for printing to highlight details that do not stand out well in regular photos. Not intended for small children due to choking hazard and should only be purchased by experienced modelers due fine details and printer support removal. The number of items in your order is calculated by multiplying the quantity you selected by the number of items per set if applicable. All items are printed in the order they are purchased.
For best results, clean any support material carefully with a sharp hobby knife and test-fit the bomb to your aircraft's pylon before final assembly. Prime the resin with a quality primer designed for resin parts, then paint according to your chosen scheme. Most MK-20 Rockeye II bombs were finished in overall olive drab or light gray with yellow or white stenciling and nose markings.
