Comprising: Four 3D-printed resin bombs in either 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32 scale.
History: White phosphorus munitions were primarily used by British and American forces during WW1. Aerial bombs for smoke-generating and antipersonnel roles came into use during the second half of the war.
Before the advent of incendiary ammunition, the 40 lb. phosphorus bomb was designed mainly for attacking airships and observation 'kite' balloons. Its variable-time fuze, used with a C.F.S bomb sight enabled it to detonate at a calculated height above a target - showering it with burning phosphorus over a 250-meter-wide circle. These phosphorus lumps could flame for about 1,000 ft as they fell. As the Great War progressed, the 40 lb. incendiary was employed for more conventional purposes and ground marking.
Operational Use: Documented to have equipped several aircraft, including the Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8, Airco DH.4, Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b, and the Sopwith F.1 Camel.
