RESKIT RS32-0525 Mk.84 thermally protected/BLU-117 with BSU-36/B bombs (2 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/32

RESKIT RS32-0525 is a unique set in the "aircraft weaponry – 1/32 scale accessories" modeling category, designed for enthusiasts of faithfully recreated replicas of contemporary US Navy and USAF combat aircraft. The set presents two pieces of the legendary Mk.84 general-purpose bombs with thermal protection – also known as BLU-117 – along with the characteristic BSU-36/B parachute tails, which enable safe low-level drops.

• Scale: 1/32 – an ideal choice for models of F/A-18 Hornet, F-15E Strike Eagle, A-6 Intruder, F-14 Tomcat and other American aircraft used from the end of the Cold War to the present day.
• User: United States Air Force and Navy – this weapon entered the arsenal at the end of the 1970s and was intensively used during the Gulf War, the Balkan intervention, and operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
• Period: Cold War, modern era – an essential addition for dioramas and models depicting US air operations from the 1980s to the latest missions.
• Material: precision 3D printing – this technology guarantees excellent reproduction of details such as bomb panels, the structure of the thermal protection, and the distinctive BSU-36/B parachute tail.
• Contents: 2 complete Mk.84/BLU-117 bombs with BSU-36/B tail – ready for assembly, requiring no photo-etched parts or resin accessories.

Historically, the Mk.84 bomb has been the American standard since the 1970s, weighing 2,000 pounds (about 907 kg). The BLU-117 version with thermal coating was designed to increase resistance to high temperatures or fire aboard aircraft carriers as well as during drops in extreme conditions. The BSU-36/B tail enables effective bomb drops from very low altitudes, reducing risk for pilots and improving strike precision.

We especially recommend this product to intermediate and experienced modelers seeking high realism in their 1/32 scale combat aircraft models, accurately reflecting US Navy and USAF armament over the past decades. An excellent choice for commemorative dioramas and dynamic models.
Assembly difficulty: 3/5 – this model is easy to assemble, but high precision in painting and detailing is recommended to achieve a realistic effect.
