US GBU-11 Bombs
1:32 Brassin

 

(632-112) - If you’ve fancied some really large ordinance on your finished models other than dumb bombs, then we have just the thing for you here in the form of the GBU-11. The GBU-11/B is a KMU-370B/B guidance kit, which consists of an MAU-157/B computer control group and an MXU-601/B guided bomb airfoil group, attached to a 3,000 pound M118 general purpose bomb.

 

Arriving in the pretty standard cardboard box used for more fragile items the set has parts for two complete bombs. The casting is up to the usual standard, with some very fine details, such as the bomb lugs moulded onto the bomb casing. Unfortunately, even in the packaging they come in, one of the lugs on the review samples have broken. So be aware and open the ziplock bag carefully as they can be glued back on if required.  Assembly is nice and simple, as once the fins and bodies are removed from the casting blocks and cleaned up it’s just a matter of joining them together, adding the separate front fins, fitting one of two types of seeker head then painting, (any colour as long as it’s olive drab or test white it seems), adding the supplied decals, and weathering as required.

 

 

 

 

Conclusion
As is becoming the norm for Brassin these bombs are really well manufactured. Great moulding, good attention to detail and an excellent addition to any modellers armoury.
