1:72 KMGU-2 Dispensers, 2 pcs (for all kits)

KMGU-2 — submunition dispensers 1:72 (Quinta Studio), 2 pcs

A set of two 3D-printed (resin) KMGU-2 external stores in 1:72 scale from Quinta Studio. It is not a model in its own right — it is an accessory for a model with which you replace or complete the external stores on models of Soviet and Russian attack aircraft (the Su-25 Frogfoot, the Su-17/22 or the MiG-27, for instance). The set is generic, conceived for all kits, so it serves as an accurate replacement or addition without being tied to a particular kit.

The real subject

The KMGU-2 is a universal dispenser for small loads. It is hung under an aircraft and in flight the system releases small submunitions from it in sequence — anti-personnel and anti-tank mines or small fragmentation bomblets stowed in blocks inside the container. It served for quickly mining an area or for striking exposed targets over a wide area and is carried by a whole range of machines of Soviet and Russian design.

Building and painting tips

First wash the parts free of mold release agent and carefully separate them from the casting blocks. Glue them with super glue (cyanoacrylate), because ordinary plastic cement does not hold on resin. Protect your airways when sanding resin. Apply a primer before painting and spray the colors with an airbrush in thin coats; bringing out the engraved lines with a wash makes the surface detail stand out.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building Soviet and Russian attack aircraft in 1:72 scale
• Those who want a realistic replacement for external stores
• More experienced builders used to working with resin and super glue

This is an accessory for a model, not a model of an aircraft. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
