Aerial Bombs of the Eastern Front
Do not stand near a bomb!
A pack of bombs used by the Luftwaffe and the Soviet Air Force during the Second World War, both bombs on their own and bombs impacted in the ground. Though the aerial combat over the Ostfront is not as famous as, for example, the carrier battles in the Pacific or the Western Allies' raids over Germany, it was nevertheless just as important and just as deadly. The Soviet Air Force went into the war with a largely outdated air force which was primarily destroyed on the ground by German bombers. However, as the war went on, the Soviets began to rebuild their air fleet and ended the war with a force to rival that of the West. Both sides used low-level attackers and strategic bombers, both of which used a wide range of ordnance. This pack contains these bombs;
The unbased versions could be used as airfield scatter terrain or mated to bomb carts for... different airfield scatter terrain? The impact versions can be used as objectives, scatter terrain, or as markers for bombs which have a fuse... or to just make funny pictures, I guess.
Print with, at largest, 0.2mm layers. Use care removing supports, as always. You'll need modelling mud to detail bases.

However, as the war went on, the Soviets began to rebuild their air fleet and ended the war with a force to rival that of the West. Both sides used low-level attackers and strategic bombers, both of which used a wide range of ordnance. This pack contains these bombs;
- SC500: One of the classic German bombs of the war, a 500-kilogram high-explosive which was issued to fighters, strike aircraft, and bombers.
- FAB-500sv: The Soviet 500-kilogram, fitted to primarily strike aircraft and bombers.
- RRAB-3: The infamous 'Molotov Breadbasket,' a cluster munition used en masse during the bombing of Helsinki.
- PTAB: A Soviet submunition dropped both from RRAB-3s and in packets from strike aircraft.
- SC2500: A 2500-kilogram bomb used in rather rare cases by the Luftwaffe, carried by frontline bombers.
- FAB-5000NG: The 'nuke' itself, a frankly absurd Soviet bomb weighing in at 5000 kilograms and only being carried by the Pe-8.
The unbased versions could be used as airfield scatter terrain or mated to bomb carts for... different airfield scatter terrain? The impact versions can be used as objectives, scatter terrain, or as markers for bombs which have a fuse... or to just make funny pictures, I guess.
