The Mk.82 is one of the most widely used aircraft bombs of the Mark 80 series, with a nominal weight of 500 lbs (approx. 227 kg). The thermally protected variant, also known as "Thermally Protected", was developed to safeguard munitions from fires during storage, transport, and combat operations, minimizing the risk of secondary explosions on aircraft carriers.

Mk.82 bombs with thermal protection were extensively used by the US Navy, US Air Force, and NATO allies during operations such as Desert Storm, Allied Force, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom, and remain in service on modern combat aircraft to this day. The thermal protection cover features a characteristic surface texture and additional details, faithfully reproduced in the RESKIT product.

The set is perfect for enhancing models of aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom, F-16, F-18 Hornet, A-10, or Tornado, in versions outfitted with conventional armament. Thanks to the use of high-quality resin, details are perfectly rendered—from attachment lugs, to cover texture, to seam lines.

The product is perfect for dioramas, competition projects, or customizing a replica. Assembly difficulty: 2/5 (easy to assemble, though some experience with resin is recommended). High quality and dimensional accuracy ensure satisfaction with the final result.
