The MK.82 bomb is an American general-purpose, free-fall bomb weighing 500 pounds (227 kg), widely used by the US Air Force in nearly all theaters of operations since the second half of the 20th century. The special version with BSU-49 fins allows for safe low-level deployment by reducing the bomb's descent rate and minimizing the risk to the launching aircraft from the blast effect. These components have been seen on numerous aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom II, F-16, F-18, and A-10 Thunderbolt II during operational missions such as Desert Storm and ongoing modern conflicts.

The RESKIT set contains four resin bombs with individually crafted aerodynamic fin details. Each part is precisely rendered, reflecting technical aspects such as panel lines and mounting components. The pieces are properly prepared for painting and easy to assemble.

The RESKIT upgrade set is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers seeking to raise the realism of their aircraft models to the highest level. The product requires care and basic experience in working with resin (difficulty level 2/5).
