Eduard 672058 M117 Bombs Late 1/72 is a high-quality Brassin modelling accessory set, containing six late-version M117 bombs in 1/72 scale. The product was created for the most demanding modelers wishing to faithfully replicate the armament of aircraft from the Cold War era and later conflicts.

Historical Overview and Application

The M117 bomb is an American general-purpose, free-fall bomb with a weight of 340 kg, designed in the 1950s. It was widely used by the United States Air Force (USAF) from the early 1960s, especially during the Vietnam War, as well as in subsequent decades during, for example, Operation Desert Storm and conflicts in the Middle East. This type of bomb was carried by aircraft such as the B-52 Stratofortress, F-4 Phantom II, F-105 Thunderchief, F-111, and F-16 Fighting Falcon. The late versions included in this set were improved in terms of ballistics and fuze reliability.
