Hasegawa US Aircraft Weapons Set C (1/48)

This Hasegawa 1/48 scale accessory set, US Guided Bombs and Rocket Launchers, brings a wide selection of American aircraft ordnance to any 1/48 scale aircraft build. Reference HAX483 includes a full range of guided missiles and gun pods moulded in plastic, giving modellers the parts needed to build accurate weapons loadouts for American jets of the period.

What’s Included

The set contains two AGM-45 Shrike missiles, six AGM-65 Maverick missiles, two AGM-78 Standard missiles and two AGM-88 HARM missiles. It also includes four AIM-4 Falcon missiles and four Hughes AIM-4G Falcon missiles, plus four AIM-7 Sparrow missiles.

• AIM-9B Sidewinder x 4
• AIM-9D Sidewinder x 4
• AIM-9E Sidewinder x 4
• AIM-9J Sidewinder x 4
• AIM-9L Sidewinder x 4

Rounding out the set are two GPU-5/A 30 mm gun pods, two HIPEG Mk.4 20 mm gun pods and two SUU-23A gun pods, giving a broad choice of ordnance and pod fits for a variety of loadout combinations.

Model Features

Every missile and pod in this set requires painting to complete, allowing modellers to match finishes to the specific aircraft, squadron and period they are building for. The parts are moulded to suit 1/48 scale aircraft kits, making this a practical 1/48 accessory for filling out weapons bays and underwing hardpoints on existing builds.

Finishing Notes

As with other Hasegawa releases, the parts feature finely engraved surface detail throughout the set. Painting is required for all missiles, gun pods and pylons, so a small selection of paints and a steady hand will be needed to bring the finished weapons up to a realistic standard.

This weapons set sits within our wider range of model kit accessories, alongside other detailing and armament sets for 1/48 aircraft projects from our scale model kits range.
