1:32 Mk.83 bombs with BSU-85 (4 pcs)

The Mk.83 with the BSU-85 tail kit for 1:32 scale

The item offers Mk.83 bombs in the form with a tail unit designated BSU-85. The count of four pieces and the 1:32 scale are taken from the name. The set suits everywhere you want an assembly under the wing that matches a particular period and task, not a universal part from a box.

How to choose between the forms

The body of the bomb itself stays the same across the whole group; what changes is the tail section. That affects the silhouette, the length of the whole assembly and the distance between individual pieces on a multiple rack. Before buying, therefore, look at photographs of the machine you are building and compare the rear part of the munitions; the difference between the individual units is clearly visible in a photograph, even though the numbers look alike.

Working with the assembly

First divide the bombs into pairs by side and mark them, so that they do not get mixed up while you paint. When seating them on a rack, watch that all the pieces point the same way and have the same distance from the fuselage. The tail section is the thinnest place on the whole assembly, so handle it carefully and put finished pieces down on a soft surface. Finish the paintwork before you attach the assembly under the lifting surface.
