1:48 ICM 48408 WWII German Aircraft Armament Plastic Model kit

Delve into the history of German air force armaments from World War II with this detailed model kit. During the war, the Luftwaffe was armed with a wide range of weapons for various purposes. The main German bombs were those weighing 50, 250, 500, 1000, 1800, and 2500 kilograms. The most common were the high-explosive bombs, including the thin-walled SC type and the thick-walled SD type, both equipped with side detonators. To decrease the depth of penetration into the ground and increase the shock wave, some bombs could be fitted with a ring at the bow.

Furthermore, some bombs could be equipped with extended detonators - the so-called Dinort rods, which triggered an explosion before the bomb itself touched the ground. Bomb carriers ranged from classic bombers such as the Ju 88 or He 111 to attack aircraft or fighters, on which bombs weighing up to 500 kilograms could be mounted. In addition to bombs, naval aviation also employed torpedoes in various theaters of war - in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the northern parts of Europe.

Pay homage to the engineering and strategies of the Luftwaffe with this intricate model kit, ideal for model enthusiasts and military history aficionados.
