The Mark 84 or BLU-117 is an US general-purpose bomb, it is also the largest of the Mark 80 series of weapons with a nominal weight of 2000Lbs. Actual weight varying with fuse options. It is a conventional steel cased bomb filled with 945 lbs of Tritonal high explosive. The weapon was first used in Vietnam and has been used ever since. These weapons have now been given guidance packages in the form of first the Pave Way, and later the JDAM additions.

The bomb bodies are supplied as one part cast resin. There is also a rear part supplied in PE. Different fused noses, including the log "Daisy cutter" are included in resin. It is good Eduard have included 3 each of these as you are bound to loose one to the carpet monster at some point! The last item in this package is the inclusion of bomb markings on the small decal sheet.

Conclusion
Quality ordnance can always enhance the look of a model. With such a wide range of potential applications, I'm sure they will sell like hot cakes too. Recommended.
