US 250lb bombs (2 pcs), 1/48 - Eduard Accessories 648086

The set US 250lb bombs (2 pcs) Eduard Accessories 648086 is a Brassin accessory in 1/48 scale, designed for enhancing aircraft model detailing. It features two American 250-pound bombs, a type of general-purpose ordnance used by the U.S. and Allied air forces during World War II.

American air ordnance in 1/48 scale

250 lb bombs were part of the ammunition commonly used by American aviation during the conflict. This set lets you add a realistic offensive payload under the wings or in an aircraft’s bomb bay, to complete a historically accurate 1/48 scale model.

Set contents and design

The set includes two resin bomb bodies, two distinct resin tail assemblies, as well as safety details for the nose and rear sections of the fuzes in photo-etched metal. A decal sheet with surface markings is also provided.

The resin allows for finely molded shapes, while the photo-etched parts add extra detail to the fuzes. The decals complete the visible inscriptions on the bombs after painting.

Assembly and finishing

As with any resin accessory, it is recommended to carefully prepare the parts before assembly and to use glue suitable for resin and photo-etch. Applying a primer layer will then help with paint application and bring out the molded details. The markings are applied onto a smooth surface, before final protection and any weathering.
