Eduard 648614 AGM-62 Walleye I Mk.I 1/48

Eduard 648614 AGM-62 Walleye I Mk.I 1/48 is an exceptionally detailed scale model accessory set, designed to enhance aircraft models in the popular 1/48 scale. This product is a precise replica of the American TV-guided bomb AGM-62 Walleye Mk.I – one of the breakthrough guided weapons used by the United States Air Force (USAF) and the US Navy between 1967–1980, covering the period of the Vietnam War and the subsequent Cold War. The original was widely used for precision strikes on strategic targets such as bridges and ammunition depots. The AGM-62 Walleye I was the first American family of modular battlefield weaponry, essentially serving as a "smart bomb."

The set offered by Eduard belongs to the category of premium-class resin accessories for 1/48 scale aircraft models. The parts are produced using precision resin casting, guaranteeing exceptional detail and the highest quality – with clearly visible characteristic elements such as the guidance unit, tail assembly, and bomb body. The set also includes photo-etched elements like handles and surface details, allowing for a realistic final effect without the need for laborious scratch-building of tiny details.

The set includes:

• Two complete AGM-62 Walleye Mk.I missiles in 1/48 scale
• Resin parts: body, guidance unit, wings, tail
• Photo-etched fret with assembly details and surface elements
• Assembly instructions
• Decals for operational markings

Assembly difficulty level: 2/5.
The set is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to emphasize the realism of aircraft models such as the F-4 Phantom II, A-4 Skyhawk, or F-8 Crusader used by the USA during the Vietnam conflict. Due to its excellent detail and quality, I especially recommend Eduard 648614 to all enthusiasts of the Cold War era and collectors of US Navy and USAF aircraft from the late 1960s and 1970s.
