The Eduard 648565 US 1000lb bombs 1/48 set is a high-quality modeling accessory intended for aviation modeling enthusiasts building 1/48 scale aircraft replicas. The product comes from the prestigious Brassin series by the Czech manufacturer Eduard, renowned for its top-notch detail and scale-accurate historical reproduction.

• Intended for: Plastic models of American aircraft from World War II and the early Cold War period

The Eduard 648565 model set includes two faithfully reproduced 1000 lb air-dropped bombs. This was the standard type of heavy general purpose bomb used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and the United States Navy during World War II and in the early years of the Cold War. The 1000 lb bomb (approx. 450 kg) was commonly used on bombers such as the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, and B-25 Mitchell—deployed during both the famous raids over Germany and in the Pacific theater.

Each bomb in the set is made from resin, which allows for exceptional detailing, sharp panel lines, realistic reproduction of the fins, and crisp technical details. In total, the set consists of four resin components, and is supplemented with high-quality photo-etched parts that enable the construction of fine details such as safety pins, retaining rings, or other characteristic parts of aircraft ordnance.

Eduard 648565 US 1000lb bombs 1/48 also includes dedicated decals allowing realistic bomb markings true to the original, greatly enhancing the level of realism of your finished model. Painting masks are not included, but thanks to the simple shape of the bombs, they are easy to make yourself.

• Material: resin, photo-etched parts
• Extras: decals, photo-etched fret
• Category: accessories – aircraft ordnance, model detailing
• Difficulty level: 2/5 (experience recommended, but assembly is intuitive and straightforward)

The set is especially recommended for modelers seeking realistic enhancements for American bombers and attack aircraft from the 1940s and 1950s. The product beautifully enriches both aircraft models and historical dioramas, elevating their level of detail to the highest standard.
