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

History: The Austro-Hungarian T.N.B.60 was the large, more powerful sibling of the 25kg delayed-effect bomb issued to the Kaiserliche und Königliche Luftfahrtruppen.  This thick-walled, steel-cased high-explosive munition aided offensive strikes from aircraft against infrastructure targets.  It featured a hardened steel penetrator tip ('Stahlspitze') and was of a series of medium-weight categories of aircraft bombs employed throughout the conflict to allow two-seat reconnaissance and light bomber types to carry and deliver penetrative explosive ordnance during tactical missions on both the Eastern and Italian fronts. 

Operational Use: Such bombs arrived at the front individually crated and were typically slung under wings or fuselage racks and released visually by the observer or bombardier over targets.  Aircraft capable of wielding the T.N.B.60 include Aviatik, Brandenberg and Lohner types, and possibly late-war G-type bombers in single-bomb carriage. 

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.
