About product

Reskit 1:72 Mk-54 depth bombs (350 lb) (4 pcs)

The set holds four Mk-54 depth bombs of 350 lb, produced by 3D printing in resin. It is an accessory for armament, not an aircraft model - the set is meant to be hung on a kit in 1:72 scale that you have already built or are still building. The manufacturer is Reskit, which specializes in resin and 3D-printed detail parts for aircraft modelers.

The real subject

The Mk-54 was an American aerial anti-submarine depth bomb. Unlike a conventional high-explosive bomb it was not meant to strike the target directly but to detonate at a preset depth below the surface - the pressure wave was to damage the submarine's hull. Weapons of this type were carried above all by naval patrol and anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters, where they were part of the basic fit for convoy protection and maritime patrol. Their sturdy cylindrical shape with short stabilizing surfaces is characteristic.

Use and fitting

  • Remove the 3D print supports - best with a sharp knife, a blade or a fine saw.
  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water before painting, to remove uncured print resin residue.
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate) - ordinary cement for plastic does not work on resin.
  • Apply a primer before painting; sand resin wet and with respiratory protection.
  • Hang the bombs on the pylons or in the bomb bay of the model according to period photographs of the particular machine.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build naval aircraft and helicopters in 1:72 scale and want to replace the coarser plastic bombs from the box with crisply detailed armament. Working with resin and super glue calls for a little experience, but the bombs themselves are simple to fit and even a slightly advanced modeler will manage them.

This is not an aircraft model but additional armament. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is additional armament - four Mk-54 depth bombs to be hung on an aircraft model in 1:72 scale. The aircraft model itself is not included in the package.

First remove the print supports and wash the parts in soapy water. They are glued with super glue (cyanoacrylate), not with cement for plastic. It is a good idea to apply a primer before painting.

American naval patrol and anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters. We always recommend checking the particular armament fit against period photographs of the machine you are building.
