Modeling skill level and recommendations

The Eduard 648188 M117 Bomb Early 1/48 set is recommended for both advanced modelers and intermediate enthusiasts who want to equip their aircraft models with realistic and richly detailed ordnance. However, building the resin version requires some experience, especially when assembling the delicate photo-etched parts, so we rate the difficulty level at 3/5. This product is perfect for dioramas, competition projects, and expanding US aviation models from the Cold War and modern military operations periods.
