BRU-55 Smart Bomb Racks for F/A-18 (2 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0175 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0175 provides BRU-55 smart bomb racks for the F/A-18 in 1/48 as a 2-piece 3D printed set. The fine printing helps preserve the slim rack profile and mounting detail, which is important on pylons where spacing and alignment are clearly visible.

This set is useful when you want a cleaner dual-store configuration on your Hornet or Super Hornet build, especially if the racks sit prominently under the wings.

For modelers: dry-fit the racks to the kit pylons first and confirm alignment from the front and side (kit-dependent). Clean support marks gradually and check that both racks sit parallel before installing stores.

FAQ

Is this set kit-specific?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but pylon geometry and mounting points can vary between kit manufacturers. Always dry-fit before final installation.

How do I ensure both racks sit evenly?

Install them as a pair and check alignment from multiple angles before glue cures. Small adjustments at the pylon interface help keep the racks parallel.

Any preparation tips for 3D printed racks?

Remove supports carefully and smooth contact points with fine sanding. A thin primer coat helps confirm edges and surfaces are ready for paint.
