Hasegawa US Aircraft Weapons A 1/48 Accessory Set

Hasegawa US Aircraft Weapons A is a 1/48 scale model accessory set containing a varied selection of American bombs, ejector racks, dispensers and tow target equipment. Manufacturer reference HAX481, the set is designed for suitable 1/48 aircraft modelling projects and provides multiple components for creating an appropriate external load or target-towing configuration.

This is an accessory set rather than a complete aircraft model kit. All supplied components require painting to complete. Modellers should check the requirements of their chosen aircraft project and follow the relevant kit instructions when selecting and positioning the included equipment.

Bombs and Munitions Included

The set contains two BLU-27 napalm bombs and six M117 bombs. It also includes twelve Mark 81 bombs, twelve Mark 82 bombs and six Mk.82 bombs fitted with fuse extenders. Six Mk.82 Snakeye high-drag bombs provide an additional Mark 82 configuration.

Larger weapons represented in the set include six Mark 83 bombs and two Mark 84 bombs. Six Mk.20 Rockeye units and six SUU-30 units are also supplied, giving the modeller a broad choice of components for a suitable US aircraft subject.

Racks, Dispensers and Target Equipment

Two multiple ejector racks and two TER-9/A triple ejector racks are included for mounting compatible items from the set according to the chosen model and its instructions. The accessory selection also contains two SUU-20 dispensers.

For target-towing configurations, Hasegawa supplies two A/A37U tow target systems and two TDU-10B targets. These components extend the set beyond conventional weapons and allow it to support a more specialised aircraft modelling project where appropriate.
