Spectre Resins is a new range of resin accessories produced by Mark S Bilas of Wolfpack Decals fame. This is his third release, the Mk-17/Mk-24 nuclear weapon.
This was the first mass-produced hydrogen bombs produced by the United States, and the Mk-17 was notable for it's size - it was so big it could only be carried by the B-36 bomber, and was produced between 1954 and 1955.
Again, this is a nice clean casting - what's amazing is the size! It is cast in a dark grey resin which is quite unusual compared to the normal tan and is crisply moulded. Detail is sparse, but so was the real thing! The instructions are a single sheet, with a comprehensive history of the weapon.
