This 1/48 scale BLU-1B napalm cannister set adds a historically appropriate external-load detail to Vietnam-era aircraft models. It is intended for experienced scale modelers building strike aircraft with a two-piece ordnance load.

Designed and 3D printed in resin in-house by MPM Hobbies, this set includes two detailed cannisters for display on compatible 1/48 aircraft. The print is shipped unpainted with 3D supports attached. Color images are for display purposes only.

Product Details

Material: 3D-printed resin
Scale: 1/48
Contents: Two BLU-1B napalm cannisters
Compatibility: 1/48 aircraft models representing the A-4 Skyhawk, F-4 Phantom II, A-7 Corsair II, F-100 Super Sabre, and A-1 Skyraider
Use: External ordnance detail for Vietnam-era strike aircraft builds

Compatibility Reference

For a compatible A-4 build, pair this accessory with the 1/48 Hobby Boss A-4F Sky Hawk 81765. Fit can vary between kits, so test the cannisters against the aircraft's pylon or rack before final assembly.

Finishing Notes

Remove the supports carefully, especially around small details, then clean and test-fit the parts before priming and painting. Suitable cyanoacrylate adhesive can be used to attach the accessory or fill small imperfections. Fine resin details can be brittle, and support layouts may differ from the photos.

Historical Reference

The BLU-1/B and BLU-1B/B were 750-pound fire bomb designs used with forced-ejection release systems on high-performance aircraft. For additional technical background, read the BLU-1 fire bomb reference at Bulletpicker.com.
