Two AGM-62 Walleye I ER glide bombs and one AN/AWG-16 data link pod to go with them. Resin castings in 1:32 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The weapon designated AGM-62 Walleye appeared in the 1960s as an unpowered body with a camera in the nose. Before release the operator picked a point of sufficient contrast on the screen, the system memorized it, and the bomb then glided to the target on its own, without further input from the crew. The letters ER in the designation stand for extended range: the version received larger lifting surfaces, so the aircraft could release the weapon earlier and stay farther from light anti-aircraft defenses.
The box holds two bodies and one data link pod designated AN/AWG-16. It relayed the picture from the seeker head back to the cockpit and allowed the aim point to be corrected in flight; without it the weapon was used only in the mode where it memorized the target before release. The castings are resin and match 1:32 scale, in which even small details such as the hinges of the control surfaces stand out.
The lifting surfaces are fairly sturdy at this scale, but even so cut them from the casting block with a fine-tooth saw and support the surface with your finger so it does not crack at the root. The bodies are usually sprayed light gray, while the front window of the seeker head stays dark and smooth. Markings and color bands are not included in the set, so have decals from your own stock ready or mask the bands yourself. The data link pod has its own pylon mount, which is best glued on after the fuselage paintwork is finished, otherwise the joint is hard to clean of overspray.
