RESKIT RS48-0175 BRU-55 Smart Bomb Racks for F-18 (2 pcs) 1/48

The RESKIT RS48-0175 BRU-55 set is a high-quality upgrade kit in 1/48 scale, dedicated to F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft models. This set from the renowned manufacturer RES/KIT is made of excellent quality resin, which ensures extraordinary detail and precision, surpassing the standard plastic parts provided by base model manufacturers such as Hasegawa, Hobby Boss, or Revell.

BRU-55/A racks are advanced weapon mounts used by the United States Air Force and Navy in modern multi-role fighter aircraft such as the F/A-18C/D/E/F Hornet and Super Hornet. Developed to increase the carrying capacity of smart bombs such as JDAM, GBU-38, or GBU-12, the BRU-55 racks enable the mounting of two precision-guided bombs under a single pylon. Thanks to this, US Navy aircraft could significantly boost their combat potential during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq in the early 21st century.
