US Weapons D Bombs -- Plastic Model Military Weapons -- 1/48 Scale -- #36008

These aircraft Weapons kits from Hasegawa are awesome. The detail is very good, the enclosed directions are easy to use, and the supplied decals for the weapons make the finished product look amazingly realistic. I have several of the 1/48 scale weapons kits A, D and E which allows me to customize my models with the weapons load that I want not just what is (or in some cases) is not included in the original model kits!

This is a very nice addition to any aircraft model kit. Once I go through these I would definitely consider getting another one of the Hasegawa weapon packs. The detail is very nice, much better than what you get included with most model kits. Assembly and fit are great, and lots of decals are included which really adds to the great look! Molding is great too, all the pieces are very neat and clean. It is really nice having more options to customize your kit.

This is more of a nitpicking thing than anything else, but close up these bombs and missiles don't actually look that good. Even with the 5 colors I painted on and the bit of shading on them, they just look lackluster. However, from a distance it does look good and that's probably what matters the most. There was little flash and seams are easy to sand off. Painting was easy, but does require plenty of masking.

After searching for many hours I finally found these U.S. weapon kits here at hobbylinc.com. The prices here are roughly $4 cheaper than ebay and amazon's lowest prices and all the kits come in the same shipment this way. I'm absolutely amazed. Now on to the product itself. The reason i bought this kit as well as kit A, and C was; I got a revell F-15E as a gift, but it wasn't the rebox with all the goodies. I searched long and hard for good resin cast parts but the problem is, if i buy the resin parts i only get what i need and for about $63 for the cheaper parts. With these kits and this site, i was able to buy enough armament for multiple vehicles plus a couple bottles of decal setting solution with shipping for $66.00. Now I'll have what i need for a few kits down the road as well.
