1/9 scale Mk82 Snakeye bomb for Freewing A4 Skyhawk

thingiverse

This is a 1/9 scale Mk82 Snakeye bomb for the Freewing A4 Skyhawk. The slot is long enough to fit either weapons pylon. You need to glue some square magnets into the slot that line up with the metal plates on the pylon. The front magnets are positioned the same regardless of the pylon. The rear magnet for the outer pylon is further forward than for the inner pylon. I just glued three magnets so that they will fit either pylon. When using the outer pylon the front of the slot lines up against the front of the pylon. The extra rear portion of the slot is not visible when the bomb is mounted. The total height of the entire bomb is 256mm. Since my QIDI printer only prints up to 150mm I used a move command to lower it 128mm and made a Gcode file for the top half. To make the lower half I rotated the bomb over and lowered it 128mm to make the Gcode file for the lower half. I used epoxy to glue the halves together. The decals should be printed on white water slide paper. The olive drab background is matched to Rustoleum Camouflage 2X Ultra Coverage olive drab. I sprayed the entire bomb with Dullcote after the decals were applied. I just added another STL file for this bomb with a mounting slot to fit the Freewing 90mm F-16 weapon mounting hardware instead of the pocket for the A-4.
