History: Carbonit AG was a German explosives manufacturer founded in the late 19th century. By the early 1900s, it operated plants in Hamburg, Kiel, and Leverkusen-Schlebusch, producing TNT and other military explosives for the German Army and Navy. During the Great War, Carbonit also produced bomb casings, fuzes, and complete explosive and incendiary bombs for aerial use.

These Brandbomben (incendiary bombs) were thin-walled metal containers filled with a resinous flammable mixture or a thermite-type compound designed to ignite rather than explode. They typically weighed about 10kg with a 4.7-liter capacity, and their blunt nose ensured maximum dispersal of the incendiary material.

Operational Use: Single-engine machines such as Albatros, DFW, and LVG C-types deployed these bombs in balloon-attack and harassment roles. Designated bombers known to have carried Brandbomben include AEG, Friedrichshafen, and Gotha G-types (often carried in mixed loads with Sprengbomben on raids against cities, depots, and airfields), as well as Zeppelin-Staaken Riesenflugzeuge. Confirmed Marineflieger machines include the Friedrichshafen FF.33, FF.41, and FF.49, alongside the Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 and W.29.

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.
