BDU-33 & Mk.76 Bombs (648567) 1:48 Eduard Brassin BDU-33s and Mk.76s are practice bombs that can be dropped from a carrying aircraft’s ejector racks, and upon impact they emit a puff of smoke to aid spotting. One variant emits a flame in addition to the smoke, so that it can be spotted in the dark, while the other is a simple smoke charge for daylight only. They’re just over 2 feet long, so an aircraft can carry quite a few for practice bombing. The Mk.76 Practice Bombs are subtly different around the fins, and both types can be fitted with cylindrical outer fins in addition to the normal cruciform type. As usual with Eduard's small Brassin resin sets, they arrive in a flat resealable package, much the same as their PE sets but with different branding, and a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between. Inside are seven casting blocks of resin parts, a small Photo-Etch (PE) fret, a small sheet of decals and the instruction sheet. There are six each of the two types of bomb, and each type has a separate fin-set for the ringless version, and another six for the optional ringed fins, which are smaller to fit within the brass cylinder. The brass cylinder will need to be rolled from the parts on the PE sheet, and annealing the parts will assist with this. The remaining parts on the fret are flat circular caps that glue to the tip pf the BDU-33 body. The bombs are painted a bright sky blue, and small diagrams show this using Gunze codes, as well as the stencil positioning for each one. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
