GBU-38 for B-2A (672208)

The GBU-38 is a 500lb air-dropped weapon that is part of the JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) family of GPS-guided bombs. The weapon is relatively modern and was deployed in combat in Afghanistan.  This set has been created with the B-2A Spirit stealth bomber in mind, and contains twice as many bombs as were seen in the standard set we reviewed here.  There are eight bomb bodies attached in pairs to pour blocks by their fins, plus a choice of either covered or bare USAF head units, depending on what phase of mission you are planning to model your B-2.  painting instructions and stencil positions are marked in a colour diagram, with Gunze Mr Color codes as usual.

As the B-2A can carry a theoretical maximum of eighty (yes, 80!) 500lb bombs using the Bomb Rack Assembly (BRA), you'd be better off depicting it partially loaded if you don't want to go bankrupt!
