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

Comprising: Twelve historically accurate scale models in high-resolution, unpainted, 3D-printed resin. Available in your choice of 1/32, 1/48, or 1/72 scale.

History: The 1.2kg Traisen-Bombe was a manual-release anti-personnel and suppression explosive weapon developed and produced at the K.u.K. Artilleriearsenal Traisen during the Great 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 (such as the 12kg, 25kg, and 60kg types) within standardized Austro-Hungarian aerial ordnance inventories. Aircraft types documented or structurally capable of carrying the 1.2kg Traisen-Bombe include the Aviatik B.II, B.III, and C.I; Hansa-Brandenburg C.I; Lohner B.I; and the UFAG C.I.

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