    I just recived directly from Japan. I'm so excited! Set looks pritty good. I hope it fit well. Instructions apart from assembly, explanation of bomb application. The box contains four types, two pieces each. The most important from my point of view is type 98 mk 25 land bomb and type 99 mk 25 mod.1 ordinary bomb.

    Lis, @lis
    These look like a nice addition to any Japanese aircraft that carried bombs. Until you posted this up, I didn't know these items were available. Thank you.

    There are also set of small bombs (60kg), and big (800kg). All very interesting.

    New stuff to me too. Just the colour instructions are worthwhile, but everything in the package looks very nice. Wonder if thatโ€™s available outside Japan?

    I try masked bomb nose by tape but it's impossible. So I painted it by hand. Vallejo Flat green. Mabye You have any ideas how to masks bomb nose?

    Looking great @lis!
    I read somewhere here (but cannot remember where...) a fellow modeler's trick on how to mask bomb tips. He basically made an appropriate hole on a plastic sheet and placed the bomb in, with only the tip to be painted protruding. Then he carefully airbrushef the exposed tip.
    I will send you the link, as soon as I remember where I saw it ๐Ÿ™‚
