Dave Roof Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 This set includes two (2) Mk-83 1000lb bombs, two (2) BSU-85 fins and two (2) each of the following : M904 nose fuzes, Mk-43 TDD and MXU-735 Nose Plugs. The Mk-83 was the weapon of choice for the USN and USMC during Operation Desert Storm and was used extensively throughout the war. Yours truly built several dozen of them while deployed to Sheik Isa Air Base in Bahrain! Below is a quick build of the first batch that were produced. Refinements have since been made to the files and the production sets are much smoother. https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl32-2003-mk-83-1000lb-bombs-with-bsu-85-fins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Man these look nice. Hope you do a GBU-32, I don’t want to mess photo etch on the Eduard ones. Also SUU-30’s would be nice also due to the PE in the Wingman’s set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Oops thought these 1/48. I was requesting the GBU-32, SUU-30’ to be 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 What is wrong with Eduard’s SUU-30? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing, but as he mentioned not liking PE, I would suspect he's asking for complete resin items. 5 hours ago, USAFsparkchaser said: Oops thought these 1/48. I was requesting the GBU-32, SUU-30’ to be 1/48 I actually do have them in 1/48 scale (already available on the site and at Spruebrothers). The GBU-32 is definitely on the list. However, due to the number of SUU-30 already available, I may pass on those. Sales overall have been good, but not great and I really can't justify spending the hours it takes to create these to release an item currently done by several others.

USAFsparkchaser Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Fair enough. The GBU-32’s will be awesome and I fully understand the decision on the SUU-30’s, I’ll just have to figure out the PE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
