MHU-12 Munitions Trailer - Duel Set 1:72 Videoaviation The MHU-12 munitions handling trailer is used by the USAF to transport munitions between the storage areas and the flightline. It can be changed to accommodate a wide variety of munitions. Two hinged deck panels in the centre of the trailer bed fold open to provide access. The trailer can generally carry bombs in one configuration, and missiles in the other. In the missile configuration it can carry larger missiles on the bed of the trailer (such as AIM-7 or AIM-120) a second higher layer can carry smaller missiles (such as the AIM-9). It is also available with a flat bed for general usage. The Kit Videoaviation already had this trailer available in the bigger scales, they have now scaled it down for the lovers of the one true scale The added benefit in the smaller scale is that it is available in a duel boxing. Each trailer has two main bed panels, the centre part, front & rear axles, missile & bomb chocks, upper missile rails, tow bar and 4 wheels. The is crisp with good casting and no bubbles present. Conclusion This is an important part in getting munitions to the flightline and will look great in any US Airfield diorama. Highly Recommended. Review sample courtesy of -
MHU-12 Munitions Trailer Videoaviation 1:32 The latest 1:32 release from Videoaviation is of a MHU-12 Munitions trailer. The set comes in a sturdy cardboard box with a picture of the two options included in the kit. Inside there is quite a lot of cream coloured resin contained in either bubblewrap or ziplock bags. The mouldings are very nicely produced with very little flash and minimal webbing/attachments connecting the parts to the moulding blocks. There are fifty two parts all told, but some will not be used depending on whether you’re building an early or late trolley. Construction begins with the fitting of the various underside fittings for the two pallet like beds, which consist of two tube mounts, six boxes, and four suspension mounts. Between the two beds there is a removable section that can be left unglued, depending if you’re likely to change the weapons the trolley is carrying. The extension tube is fitted to the two underside mounting plates, along with the extension box, mechanism and handle. Once the tow axles have been attached to the suspension mounts, the wheels can be fitted. These are made up of a separate hub and the choice of early or late style wheels, once these are attached the steering rods and tow hitch are fitted. To go with the early or late theme the modeller can choose from two styles of towing beam. The eight tie down rings, four per side are fitted, followed by the rear tow hitch and the eight weapon pads, which can be fitted as to the modellers wishes, depending on what weapons are being used. The small sheet of decals contains a couple of warning signs and what I presume are reflective panels for around the trolley. Conclusion This is another very useful piece of ground equipment from Videoaviation, which will look great in a diorama next to one of the myriad of 1:32 US aircraft on the market. The quality is superb, not just with the moulding, but also the details included. Very highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
