Historical Information and Application

The Mk.82 is a universal 500-pound (about 227 kg) aerial bomb, widely used by the United States armed forces and NATO allied countries. Its design dates back to the 1950s, with its first combat use during the Vietnam War. The Mk.82 has since been present in nearly every Cold War conflict and in military operations up to modern times, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. It is the most commonly used unguided free-fall bomb and also serves as the basis for conversion into guided bombs (JDAM, Paveway).

Mk.82 bombs can be carried by a wide range of military aircraft, such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, Mirage 2000, and many others. As a result, this RESKIT RS72-0342 resin set is an excellent choice for realistic armament on many aircraft model kits.
