Eduard 648518 Paveway II Mk 13/18 1/48 – Brassin Set – Laser-Guided Bombs for 1/48 Scale Models

Eduard 648518 Paveway II Mk 13/18 is an advanced accessory set from the prestigious Brassin series, dedicated to modelers seeking top-class detailing for armaments on 1/48 scale aircraft plastic models. This product represents variants of the American Paveway II Mk. 13 and Mk. 18 laser-guided bombs used by the United States Air Force and NATO allies.

Paveway II bombs, developed since the 1970s, have played a key role in numerous armed conflicts, ranging from the Second Gulf War, interventions in Middle Eastern countries, to contemporary air operations under NATO and coalition missions. Their guidance technology is based on a laser target designator system, which ensures exceptional strike precision—a significant advantage over conventional gravity bombs. Mk 13/Mk 18 are subtypes of this weapon, mainly used on modern combat aircraft such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15E Strike Eagle, and F/A-18 Hornet.
