GBU-31 (V) 4/B Thermally Protected Bombs U.S. Navy (2 pcs) (F/A-18E,F, F-35B) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0466 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0466 is a 1/48 GBU-31 (V) 4/B thermally protected bombs set (U.S. Navy, 2 pcs) made as 3D printed resin parts to provide clean fin geometry and a sharper bomb body profile for modern carrier aviation loadouts.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models.

Large guided bombs are very noticeable under the wings, so straight alignment and consistent fin edges help the finished model look more precise than simplified kit stores. This set is suited to Navy-style configurations while the exact pylon/brace fit depends on the kit and chosen stations (kit-dependent).

For modelers: choose the stations early and test-fit the bombs with pylons and sway braces before painting, then remove supports in small steps to protect fin edges; paint and seal the bomb bodies first, and add small details after a clear coat to reduce handling marks.

FAQ

Will these bombs fit any 1/48 kit of the listed aircraft?

The set is intended as a universal 1/48 accessory, but pylons, sway braces and station geometry vary by kit manufacturer. Test-fit and adjust the attachment method as needed (kit-dependent).

What is a practical way to align two bombs as a matched pair?

Dry-fit both bombs on the model and check that they sit parallel and at the same height before glue. Matching alignment is easier before paint and final assembly.

How do I protect fin edges during cleanup?

Remove supports gradually and avoid heavy sanding on thin edges. A thin primer coat helps reveal remaining marks without rounding detail.
