Historical and Technical Description

The Mk.76 is a practice aerial bomb used by the USAF and US Navy since the 1960s, serving as a replica of the actual Mk 82 bomb but with much lower weight and no explosive charge. The BDU-33 is its equivalent with nearly identical ballistic characteristics, most commonly used by the US Air Force. Both types are intended for pilot training with gravity bombs and are employed on a wide range of jet aircraft, such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, A-10 Thunderbolt II, and T-38 Talon. Such bombs appear in many modern aerial exercises – from the Cold War era up to current training missions.

Why choose this set?

The components of the Eduard Brassin 648567 set stand out for their exceptional level of detail – rivets, wiring, and very fine nuances are visible, which are difficult to achieve in plastic kits. The included photo-etched details and decals with inscriptions allow you to accurately recreate markings used by various units. This is an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced aircraft modelers who want to enhance the realism of their USA/NATO aircraft dioramas or displays from 1960–present.
