SUU-20 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-20 Bomb Dispenser.  Inside the sturdy acetate blister pack are twenty eight parts in the standard creamy beige resin 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
• 12 crutches although only 6 required
• 6 BDU-33 practice bombs with 2 spares
• 6 attachment lugs for the container with only 2 required

 

 

 

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 is fitted to the central container part followed by the 6 crutches, 2 attachment lugs and the six practice bombs.  The colour scheme is white overall with metal or dark grey rocket tubes.  The practice bombs are blue and just need the addition of RBF flags, (not provided) to complete the look. 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-20s.  Highly recommended.
