Aero Bonus is a product line from Aires.  This set features 4 FAB-250 TS bombs with tail fins and decal stencils.  The FAB-250 TS bomb was used by the Su-22, Su-25, Su-37, Tu-22M, MiG-21 and the IL-102.  FAB is an abbreviation for fugasnaya aviatsionnaya bomba and the 250 indicates the weight of the bomb....250 Kilograms.

The quality of the resin casting is excellent and bubble free.  These are 2 piece units that will be simple enough to assemble and paint.  There is also a sheet of stencils to add to your painted bombs to make them as accurate as possible.  The 2 pages of instructions include 2 view color drawings that show you how they should look when finished, which will help you with painting and decal placement.

I'm very impressed with these Soviet bombs from Aero Bonus, these will look great hanging off your next Soviet aircraft. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of some of those retailers can be found here.
