1:32 MBD2-67U Multiple ejector racks with FAB-100-120 Bombs, 2+8 pcs (for all kits)

MBD2-67U racks with FAB-100-120 bombs, 1:32 (Quinta Studio)

A set of two MBD2-67U multiple ejector racks (MER) and eight bombs of the hundred kilogram class in 1:32 scale from the Russian brand Quinta Studio. The box gives the counts of two racks and eight bombs. The manufacturer offers the set as a universal accessory for any kit. This is an accessory of underwing stores, not a kit of an aircraft; the model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

The real subject

A multiple ejector rack is a beam that hangs on a single pylon of an aircraft and carries several bombs instead of one. The Soviet Air Force used them precisely so that ground-attack and training machines could carry a larger number of lighter bombs of the hundred kilogram class. Such an arrangement is among the most striking details under a wing, because a dense cluster of bodies appears on one pylon and is immediately visible on a model.

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.
