1/48 Bomb rack for Spitfire + British 500lb bomb 

product # GRF48004   Review by Steve Bamford on Jan 22 2006

--------------------

This detail set from Griffon Model Accessories includes one resin bomb and a photo etch sheet to construct the bomb rack for the bomb.  

You get all the details needed for the fin assembly on the tail of the bomb as well as a fuse assembly for the nose as well as a complete bomb rack for the centreline.  I never realized how intricate the bomb racks were for these 500lb bombs on the Spitfire.

The resin casting is very sharp and the photo etch is very well done.

The instructions are helpful and easy to follow and are included on 2 pages.  This set is pretty straight forward but it will require a fair bit of careful assembly to compete the whole assembly. 

This set will permit you to have highly detailed 500lb centreline bomb on your next 1/48 Spitfire model.
