1/48 WWII German Aircraft Armament

This 1:48 scale plastic model kit offers a detailed exploration of the diverse armament carried by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. The set includes models of various types and sizes of bombs, from light 50 kg to massive 2500 kg ordnance. It features both the conventional high-explosive SC bombs with thin walls and the more robust SD bombs with thick walls and side detonators. Some bombs are equipped with special rings to reduce ground penetration and enhance the shock wave effect, while others have extended detonators, known as Dinort rods, allowing for explosion before ground contact. In addition to classic bombers like the Ju 88 or He 111 capable of carrying these bombs, the set also includes carriers for attack aircraft and fighters that could be armed with up to 500 kg bombs. The model also highlights the use of torpedoes by naval aviation in various combat zones. This kit is ideal for enthusiasts of military history and aviation technology who wish to deepen their understanding of Luftwaffe weaponry. Remember to visit the 'paints and tools' category to acquire suitable paints and glue, as these are not included in the kit.
