Bomb - WW1 British 9.45in. Converted Trench Mortar Shell (Set of 4)

Comprising: Four 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 British 9.45-inch heavy trench mortar shell (originally designed for the ML 9.45-inch "Flying Pig" heavy mortar, which was based on the French 240mm mortar) was adapted by the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service during the Great War into an aerial bomb weighing approximately 200 to 230 lbs. This conversion was carried out to compensate for early shortages of purpose-built, heavy, high-explosive aerial ordnance.

Operational Use: Documented to have equipped several aircraft, including the Airco D.H.4; Blackburn Kangaroo; Felixstowe F.2A, F.3, and F.5; Handley Page O/100 and O/400; Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b and F.E.2d; and the Short Bomber.

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.
