This resin set from Eduard is part of the Brassin series and is available directly from Eduard Model Accessories. This set includes eight GBU-39 guided bombs with two BRU-61 pylons in 1/48 scale. The GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250 lb (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000 lb (907 kg) bomb. The BRU-61/A carriage system is the first pneumatic Multi-Stores Carriage System to enter service with US aircraft and represents the latest design in pneumatic ejection systems. It has been fielded in theater since 2006.
This resin set includes:
There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow. The instructions also include painting instructions. This is a very exciting set. Imagine having 5 of these pylons with 20 bombs mounted to the underside of the fuselage of your F-15. This is one of the loadout options for this set. You can also use these on other modern jets such as the F-16 etc. You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
