Reskit 1:32 Mark 82 with Mk.15 Snakeye retarding fins is a set of four resin aerial bombs for the pylons of models in 1:32 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set holds four bombs and it is an accessory for hanging under pylons, not a model of an aircraft. On a model it replaces the armament from the box, that is bombs molded from two halves, which have a parting seam around the circumference, blunt edges on the retarding fins and often missing small details on the suspension lugs. The resin body is cast in one piece, so sanding the seam on a cylindrical surface, where it is hardest to do, falls away.
The Mark 82 is an American low-drag aerial bomb from the Mk 80 series, in the weight class of around 500 pounds. It is used in many combinations with various tail units and a whole range of aircraft types carry it. The Mk.15 Snakeye retarder unit has folding plates, which open out after release and slow the bomb down. That allows release from a low altitude without the aircraft flying into the blast area of its own munitions.
First wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent, so that they are rid of remains of the release agent, otherwise primer will not hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine-toothed saw, not with cutters, as resin cracks. Do the sanding wet and with protection for your airways. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, as ordinary cement for plastic does not take on resin. It is worth attaching the bomb to the pylon with a steel pin made of wire in a drilled hole, because resin is heavier than plastic and the joint alone is easily snapped off. Lay a primer on before painting.
Reskit makes several similar Mark 82 sets, which differ in the form of the tail unit and in the surface finish of the bomb. Choose, therefore, by the exact designation of the set and by the scale.
The set is an accessory for a model, not a kit in its own right. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
