These detect target vehicles, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks and other support vehicles, and fire a kinetic energy penetrator downwards at them.

This resin set includes:

  • six CBU-97 main bodies

  • six CBU-97 tail units

  • decals for stencils and stripes

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

This set gives you a very interesting weapons option rather than the standard weapons load that comes with most kits.  The detailing on these is very crisp and well done.  Follow the instructions carefully to install the tail unit with the correct orientation to the main body unit.
