Resin models of the American AN-M64A1 aerial bomb of 500 pounds in 1:72 scale are an accessory store for a kit you have already bought, not an airplane model of its own.
Responsibility details are not available.
This resin set from the Czech maker Brengun represents the American AN-M64A1 aerial bomb of 500 pounds, that is approximately 227 kilograms, in 1:72 scale. It is an accessory to an aircraft model: the bomb is hung under the wing, in the bomb bay, or laid in an airfield diorama. The kit, glue and paints are not part of the package.
A bomb in the 500-pound weight class was the universal American store from fighter-bombers to heavy bombers, so it turns up on models constantly. Plastic parts from kits usually have two weaknesses: a parting seam running the whole length of the cylinder, which has to be filled and sanded, and fins that are too thick. On a bomb, though, the tail cruciform is exactly what a viewer notices. A resin casting comes with no seam and with fins of a thickness acceptable for the scale, so the slow work that would otherwise be repeated on every further piece is avoided.
Wash the castings in warm soapy water to remove the mold release agent and let them dry thoroughly. Cut the casting block off with a saw and sand the area wet and with respiratory protection. It is bonded with super glue; on heavier castings reinforce the joint with a wire pin. Apply a primer before painting. When painting, it helps to work from a darker base to a lightened center of the cylinder, so the bomb does not look flat. The color bands on the body are better masked than painted freehand, because their width and straightness are immediately visible on a finished model.
This is an accessory set in resin, not a kit. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
