Comprising: Eight unpainted 3D-printed resin bombs in your choice of 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32 scale.  One decal sheet.

History: These hand-thrown high-explosive bombs were designed by Britain's Royal Laboratory on the south bank of the River Thames in Woolrich, and were in production from 1914 until at least into 1916.  They were filled with TNT and typically delivered to the front loaded in wooden cases in sets of six with separately packed detonators, exploders and strikers.

Operational Use: Used primarily by the Royal Naval Air Service on multiple aircraft types, including the Airco D.H.4, Bristol Scout, Curtis H-4 'Small America', Fairey Hamble Baby, ; Farman H.F.20 and M.F.11; Morane-Saulnier Type L, Nieuport 17, Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2; Short Admiralty Type 184, and the Sopwith Baby, Camel, Type 707 'Folder' and Schneider. 

Note: Our 3D renderings depict the actual 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.
