GBU-12 Paveway II is a modern laser-guided bomb used by the U.S. military aviation and many allied armies. Based on the classic Mk 82 general-purpose bomb, it has been transformed into a precision weapon by adding the Raytheon laser guidance system. Its first combat use was recorded during conflicts in the Middle East and Operation Desert Storm. Since then, the GBU-12 Paveway II has been widely used on numerous fronts, providing high targeting accuracy and minimizing collateral damage.

The Eduard 672166 GBU-12 1/72 set is characterized by outstanding detail sharpness—in the bomb body, control surfaces, and mounting parts. The included photo-etched parts further replicate key details such as tail fins or guidance elements. The decals allow for realistic markings compliant with actual U.S. Air Force guidelines as well as those of other NATO air forces.

We particularly recommend this product for advanced and intermediate modelers creating dioramas and replicas of American and NATO combat aircraft from recent decades. The set is also a great choice for collectors striving for maximum realism in the armament of aircraft such as the F-16, F-15, F/A-18, or Tornado.

Assembly difficulty level: 3/5 – experience working with resin components and precise decal application required.
