About product

The Mark 36, a nuclear bomb for models in 1:72

This article adds believable armament to an aircraft model that is already finished. It is not an aircraft kit but a single object, which comes into its own in a bomb bay, on a handling trolley or simply laid on the surface beside a machine.

What the Mark 36 meant

The Mark 36 came about as a more powerful and at the same time more manageably heavy replacement for the first generation of thermonuclear bombs. It was in service roughly between 1956 and 1962 and was carried by the B-36, the B-47 and the early B-52. It was thanks to it that the US Air Force could move from a handful of giant weapons to larger stocks of weapons an ordinary bomber squadron could lift. In shape it is a spindle-like body with a pronounced tail cone and stabilizing fins.

How to handle it on the bench

The best result comes from painting away from the model: the bomb is easily held on a stick pushed into the mounting hole. Apply a matte white or aluminum shade in coats and only then add faint traces of wear around the handling points. Keep dry-fitting the joints until they seat exactly without pressure. Sand the casting remains on the underside of the body flat, so that the bomb does not stand crooked in the cradle of the bomb bay.

Who the set fits

  • modelers of the strategic air forces of the 1950s
  • makers of scenes with ordnance crews
  • anyone interested in comparing the individual types of weapon
  • builders of large bombers with an open bomb bay

The aircraft itself and modeling chemicals are not part of the delivery.

Roughly between 1956 and 1962, that is at the height of the expansion of the strategic bomber force.

Yes, it is commonly set on a transport trolley or straight onto the surface beside an aircraft.
