This is the base for a model of unknown scale of a U.S. Air Force MK-84 guided bomb. Carrying a conventional explosive warhead, this was one of the MK-80 series of low drag general purpose bombs used where maximum blast and explosive effects were desired. The United States used the MK-80 series extensively during the Gulf War. The stand and model's manufacturer is unknown.
John and Cynthia Heyde donated the stand and model to the museum.
