Description

The Mk-82 Snakeye bomb, meticulously replicated in this 1/48 scale model accessory, is a must-have for enthusiasts of Vietnam-era Navy aircraft. Originally designed with a specialized retarding tail fin assembly, the Mk-82 Snakeye allowed aircraft to perform low-altitude bombing with precision and safety, critical for close-air support missions.

This 1/48 scale Mk-82 Snakeye bomb is crafted with precise attention to detail, including the distinctive thermally protective coating used in real-world Vietnam-era operations. This thermal coating was critical for minimizing the risk of cook-off in fuel-related fires, enhancing the bomb's safety and reliability during high-stakes Navy missions​

Ideal for recreating historic Navy aircraft loadouts, the Mk-82 Snakeye was employed on the A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, F-4 Phantom II, and A-7 Corsair II—each relying on the Snakeye’s delayed drop capabilities for low-altitude accuracy. This model accessory captures these authentic features, offering a historically accurate addition for modelers passionate about Naval aviation.

Comes with a 3D printed stripe mask to help make masking the nose stripes easy.

Available in quantity discounts, so outfitting an air wing doesn't break the bank.
