Realistic Detail for Combat Aircraft Models

The BLU-27 is an incendiary bomb, an American development of the Mark 47 bomb. It was mainly used for destroying enemy personnel, lightly armored vehicles, depots, and infrastructure. Filled with napalm or another flammable gel, the bomb was regularly carried under the wings of aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, A-1 Skyraider, F-105 Thunderchief, and A-7 Corsair II. The large number of combat missions during the Vietnam War using BLU-27 bombs confirms their crucial role in the USAF and US Navy arsenals. The use of this equipment spanned the Vietnam conflict (the 1960s and 1970s) and continued into later operations, up to the early 1990s (Cold War and modern times).
