RESKIT RS32-0495 Mk.83 bombs with BSU-85 (4 pcs) (3D printed) 1/32

The RESKIT RS32-0495 Mk.83 bombs with BSU-85 set in 1/32 scale is a high-quality modeling accessory designed for realistic arming of modern aircraft models. The kit includes four precisely reproduced Mk.83 general purpose bombs, each equipped with the characteristic BSU-85 tail, which serves as an air brake—this feature enables safe use of the bomb during low-altitude drops. The set is produced using advanced 3D printing technology, which allows for exceptional detailing of every aspect, including surface texture, mounting components, and the tail section.

Historical Information and Combat Use

The Mk.83 is an American general purpose bomb weighing 1,000 pounds, developed in the 1950s and widely used to this day by the United States Air Force (USAF), US Navy, and numerous NATO countries. The presented version with the BSU-85 tail was designed specifically for low-altitude operations, where protecting the aircraft from the effects of its own bomb’s explosion was a priority. Mk.83 bombs, since the 1960s, have been used on aircraft and support planes such as F/A-18 Hornet, F-14 Tomcat, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15E Strike Eagle, F-35 Lightning II, A-6 Intruder and others, appearing in conflicts from the Cold War to modern-day engagements from Vietnam to the Middle East.
