RESKIT RS72-0187 1000 LB FREE FALL BOMB CHECKS (114 TAIL-947 TAIL FUZE) (4 PCS) 1/72 – detailed 1:72 scale aircraft bomb set

The RESKIT RS72-0187 set is a precision resin kit of four 1000-pound free-fall bombs, made in 1/72 scale by the renowned modeling accessories manufacturer, RES/KIT. The set was designed for advanced enhancement of aircraft models used by the Royal Air Force and other NATO member state air forces during World War II and the immediate post-war period.

The 1000 lb Free Fall Bomb was used primarily by the British Royal Air Force, from the campaign over Western Europe (1940-1945) up to the post-war years. Equipped with characteristic rear fuzes of the 114 Tail or 947 Tail Fuze type, these bombs were a groundbreaking weapon used by bombers such as the Avro Lancaster, Handley Page Halifax, or Wellington. They served both in strategic raids on industrial targets and in operational support missions.
