Brengun 1/48th Tomahawk Missile

The Tomahawk missile family consists of a number of subsonic, jet engine-powered missiles designed to attack a variety of surface targets. Although a number of launch platforms have been deployed or envisaged, only sea (both surface ship and submarine) launched variants are currently in service. Tomahawk has a modular design, allowing a wide variety of warhead, guidance, and range capabilities.

Variants
There have been several variants of the BGM-109 Tomahawk employing various types of warheads.

  • BGM-109A Tomahawk Land Attack Missile – Nuclear (TLAM-A) with a W80 nuclear warhead. Retired from service sometime between 2010 and 2013.[4]
  • RGM/UGM-109B Tomahawk Anti Ship Missile (TASM) – radar guided anti-shipping variant; withdrawn from service in the 1990s.
  • BGM-109C Tomahawk Land Attack Missile – Conventional (TLAM-C) with a unitary warhead. This was initially a modified Bullpup warhead.
  • BGM-109D Tomahawk Land Attack Missile – Dispenser (TLAM-D) with submunitions.
  • RGM/UGM-109E Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM Block IV) – improved version of the TLAM-C.
  • BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) – with a W84 nuclear warhead; withdrawn from service in 1987.

Here you have it folks, a beautifully cast 1/48th scale model of the controversial Tomahawk Cruise Missile. The kit (BRS 48003) comes with a small photo etch fret for added detail on the display case and exhaust section.

The cast is very clean and the separate fins are very well in scale with the rest of the missile. The kit also include a nicely printed decals sheet featuring markings for the Royal Navy, U.S Air Force  -AGM-109, General Dynamics and Tomahawk-.

 

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
I most definitely recommend this kit. Nice as a stand alone subject next to your 1/48 aircraft display shelf or as a small diorama / vignette subject.
