The M117 General Purpose Bomb is a universal air-dropped bomb with a mass of 340 kg, developed by the United States in the late 1950s and widely used during the Cold War, particularly in the Vietnam conflict. It was mainly employed by the USAF and American aviation on dozens of combat aircraft. The "late" version with the MAU-103 fin provided improved stability during drop, enhancing strike effectiveness and reducing dispersion. This type of ordnance saw extensive use into the 1980s, successfully deployed in the Vietnam War, in both tactical and strategic operations, for example by B-52 bombers.

The RESKIT RS72-0435 product is an excellent choice for experienced modelers and collectors who expect realism and historical accuracy from their scale aircraft models. Enhancing your model with realistically crafted M117 GP bombs significantly improves the presentation value of a diorama or model. The assembly difficulty of this kit is rated at 3/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers familiar with handling and assembling resin accessories. I highly recommend this set as a quality upgrade for your modeling projects!
