SUU-21 Bomb Dispenser

Videoaviation 1:32

The latest release from Videoaviation.com is this, well, what I can only call it a model for that is what is in its own right, of a SUU-21 Bomb Dispenser. Inside the sturdy cardboard box are two poly zip lock bags of creamy beige resin parts, a small decal sheet and the instruction sheet. The resin is beautifully rendered, with no signs of bubbles or other flaws. The casting blocks don’t look to difficult to remove, but it will take a razor saw to do the best job on the larger parts. The kit includes the following resin parts:-

• Main bomb container
• Nose cone
• Tail Cone
• Closed off bomb bay parts
• A pair of bomb lugs, for the main container
• 6 x BDU 48 bomblets
• 6 x Mk75 bomblets
• 2 x display stands.

The details on the main container are very finely done with recessed panel lines and screw heads and the resin is wonderfully smooth. Construction is easy once the parts have been removed from the moulding blocks and cleaned up. The nose and tail cones are fitted to the central container part followed either by the closed door parts or the bomb bay roof and 6 of either type of bomblet. Job done bar the painting, (which is white overall and either blue or possibly yellow bomblets) and the decaling which consists of the container placards and six RBF flags which only need to be added if the bomblets are fitted. The instructions are very clear and easy to read, but it would have been nice it parts were actually named as well as numbered.


Conclusion
This is a very nice addition to the Videoaviation product range and will add something different to a completed model. With the well moulded, flawless resin it should go together fairly easily. All the modeller has to do is check their references and see if the model they are building needs one or two SUU-21s. Highly recommended.
