SC 50 German WWII Bombs (648264)

1:48 Eduard Brassin

 

 

The SC50 was a general purpose free-fall bomb used widely by the Luftwaffe in WWII, weighing roughly 50kg.  This set of eight resin bombs from Eduard's Brassin line arrives in the familiar Brassin clamshell box, with the resin parts safely cocooned on dark grey foam inserts, and the instructions sandwiched between the two halves, doubling as the header card.  Inside are the eight bomb bodies with integral fins, plus optional "Screamers" that were attached to the tail fins in pairs, as if having bombs dropped on you wasn't scary enough!  There are four casting blocks of the screamers, and each bomb is supplied on its own casting block that is very lightly to the tail fins with the finest possible gates.

 

As usual with Eduard, the painting guide gives Gunze call-outs, and shows where the included coloured stripes on the decal sheet should go, along with a few small stencils in black.
