LAU-10/A Zuni Launchers
1:32 Brassin

Arriving in the clear bubble pack most used by Eduard in the Brassin range, this set consists of two complete launchers, four end plates, eight rocket heads. There is also a small etched sheet, containing the end plates of each rocket motor. A small decal sheet finishes the package off, contain stencils for the pod and yellow live weapon stripes for each rocket head. Construction is relatively simple, just cut the moulding blocks off the pods and pod end sections, for the which the modeller has the option of fitting one pair for armed pods or the other pair for empty pods. Each rocket nose section is then glued to the front recesses of the pod. Unfortunately the review sample was slightly damaged in transit with a section of the nose ring on both pods having a section broken, so check before buying, if you can as it’s not an easy fix, or even easy to hide.

Conclusion
This is a very nice pair of pods that can be used on most US aircraft from the Vietnam onwards. Great moulding, good attention to detail and since they were so widely used, they will make an excellent addition to any modellers armoury. Just a shame about the slight damage, as the set would have been better in a Brassin box with all the padding they seem to add to those.

Highly recommended
