1:72 FAB-500 M62 (4 pcs)

The real subject

The FAB-500 is a Soviet general purpose aircraft bomb of the five hundred kilogram weight class. The M62 version is among the most widespread items of this class and has appeared under combat aircraft of Soviet and Russian manufacture for decades. The bomb has a cylindrical body, a conical nose and stabilizing surfaces at the rear; on a model it is a prominent store which establishes at once what task the machine is performing.

What the set contains

The set brings four FAB-500 M62 bombs in 1:72 scale. You will use them to fill out the stores wherever a kit offers only empty pylons or where the parts from the kit are softly shaped. Four pieces correspond to the usual arrangement on the two inner pairs of pylons.

• four FAB-500 M62 bombs in 1:72 scale

• an accessory of underwing stores for a kit
• the parts are not polystyrene and are bonded with super glue

Building and painting tips

Cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder off, so that the body of the bomb stays smooth. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. They are painted separately while they are still loose; only finished pieces are then hung on the model. Before gluing, try dry whether the bombs hang parallel to the axis of the machine and have clearance between them and from the fuselage. Check the exact placement and the number of stores in the documentation for the machine you are building.
