1:32 FAB-250 M-62 Bombs, 4 pcs (for all kits)

FAB-250 M-62 bombs, 4 pieces, 1:32 (Quinta Studio)

A set of four printed resin FAB-250 M-62 bombs in 1:32 scale from the Russian brand Quinta Studio. The manufacturer offers it as a universal accessory for any kit. The box gives the count of four bombs. In the large 1:32 scale every seam and marking on a bomb is clearly visible, so it is worth spending time on the painting. This is an accessory of underwing stores, not a kit of an aircraft.

The real subject

The abbreviation FAB designates a Soviet high-explosive bomb, and the number gives the weight class of around two hundred fifty kilograms. The designation M-62 corresponds to a body of the 1960s, which was produced for an exceptionally long time and became standard armament for tactical bombers and ground-attack aircraft alike. Bombs of this class were carried on beam pylons and on multiple racks, so a single aircraft could carry several of them.

Usage tips

Bombs are painted off the model and fitted only at the end. After washing off the print resin residue, apply a thin base, then the main shade and finally a dark wash, which will draw out the seams and bolts. Do the lettering and the color bands on the body of the bomb with masking tape or a fine brush, not freehand. Under the pylons we recommend only fitting the bombs dry and checking whether they clash with the landing gear and the flaps, and gluing them only then. Do not glue printed resin with cement for plastic; it will not hold.

Who the set is for

• builders of Soviet and Russian aviation subjects
• modelers who finish off underwing stores
• those interested in aerial munitions and their markings
• anyone whose plastic kit lacks munitions or does not have enough

This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
