Bomb - WW1 Austro-Hungarian 1.2kg 'Traisen-Bombe' (Set of 12)

Comprising: Twelve historically accurate scale models in high-resolution, 3D-printed resin.

History: The 1.2kg Traisen-Bombe was a manual-release anti-personnel/suppression explosive developed and produced at the K.u.K. Artilleriearsenal Traisen during the First World War. Designed for carriage in multiple racks on reconnaissance and light bomber aircraft, it featured a compact sheet-steel body and a simple impact fuze, allowing crews to release it in clusters against troop concentrations, supply columns, bivouacs, and other soft targets where blast and fragmentation over a dispersed area were desired. Its small size permitted substantial bomb loads without severely compromising aircraft performance, making it particularly suited to low-altitude, short-range tactical bombing and harassment missions on the Italian and Balkan fronts.

Operational History: Documentation places the T.B.1.2 in service by the mid-war period, where it complemented larger Traisen patterns (e.g., 12kg, 25kg, and 60kg types) within standardized Austro-Hungarian aerial ordnance inventories. Aircraft types confirmed to have carried the 1.2 kg Traisen-Bombe include the: Aviatik B.II and B.III; Aviatik C.I; Brandenburg C.I; Hansa-Brandenburg C.I; Lohner B.I; and UFAG C.I

Note: Images may include digital renderings of the actual 3D designs used to produce this scale model. Each respective scale is customized to ensure the greatest level detail and historical accuracy while factoring the limitations of the printing process in order to produce the most pleasing results.
