BraggPeak Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Hi folks, I bought a set of KAB-500kr bombs from RES-Kit for my Su-35 build. But I just realized this type of bombs use a BD-3U adapter, different from the other weapons. Neither Res-Kit or AMC has included the adapters in their resin kits. Any idea where I can get the BD-3 adapter in 1/48 scale ? Thanks Edited September 23, 2021 by BraggPeak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inquisitor Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) All the different adapters is one of the things still lacking the aftermarket space. AMC only has the BD3-USK-A with the pointier end. Not knowledgeable in all the adapter variations, but that rounder end/edges adapter in your photo is included in the Eduard Brassin B-8M1 rocket launcher set.

BraggPeak Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think you are actually right, BD3-USK-A should be the standard adapters for bombs upto 500lb on Su-35. I found this reference photo of KAB-500SE with BD3-USK-A, probably taken during the Syria operation. Reskit and AMC both have it in 1/48 scale. Thank you ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Tried searchin Hannants for Reskit products, but only found the adaptor as par of the MER or another kit. Are they available separately? Curious mind is wondering🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks, found it now; 48-0160 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Actually finding the right pylons for USSR fighters can be quite a challenge. So many are focused on A2A missiles rather than A2G. No wonder one have trouble finding the right ones to use 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
