FirstLook

 

Arma Hobby has just released a new set of 1/72 scale U.S. aircraft bombs for the WWII and Korean War eras.

 

 

The set supplies two 100 lb bombs, four 250 lb bombs, four 250 lb bombs and two 500 lb bombs.

 

 

The kits are presented in injection-moulded plastic. Moulding quality is very high with a minimum of cleanup required before assembly.

Each bomb is made up from a two-part body split down the middle and a separate rear fuse. The front fuse is moulded on the front of the bomb body.

 

 

The 1,000 lb bomb also has two separate tail fins.

A nice touch is the inclusion of a decal sheet.

 

 

This offers stencil markings and bands. There are sufficient decals to use on up to six bombs.

 

 

Assembly, painting and marking intructions are printed on the back of the box.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Arma Hobby's new 1/72 scale US Bomb set will be useful to any small-scale modeller building WWII and Korean War subjects. The quality is very high as you would expect from Arma Model.

The inclusion of decals for stencil markings and bands is very thoughtful too.

Highly Recommended.

Thanks to Arma Hobby for the sample
