Add accurate WWII ordnance detail to 1/48 scale bomber models with this AN-Mk 1 1,600-pound armor-piercing bomb. Designed and 3D printed in resin in-house by MPM Hobbies, it is intended for experienced scale modelers working on heavy bomber subjects.

Product details

Material: In-house 3D printed resin using an LCD-based SLA process.
Scale: 1/48.
Subject: AN-Mk 1 1,600-pound armor-piercing bomb with a pointed nose, parallel sides, slight boat tail, suspension fittings, and box-type tail assembly.
Contents: Detailed AN-Mk 1 bomb representation with its major modeled components and tail assembly.
Set count: No multi-item set count is stated in the current listing.
Finish: The print is shipped unpainted with 3D supports attached. Color images are for display purposes only.
Handling: Fine resin features can be delicate. Remove supports carefully from the tip toward the body and take extra care around small details.

Compatible subjects

The AN-Mk 1 was used on WWII-era US heavy bomber and patrol bomber subjects. It is suitable for 1/48 scale builds representing:

B-25 Mitchell
B-17 Flying Fortress
B-24 Liberator
B-29 Superfortress
PB4Y Privateer

Historical notes

The AN-Mk 1 was developed to penetrate heavily armored naval vessels, reinforced concrete, and other strongly protected targets. Its design includes a forged, machined body, a pointed nose, parallel sides, slight boat tailing, suspension fittings, and a box-type tail assembly.

The AN-Mk 1, Mk 1 Mod 1, Mk 1 Mod 2, and Mk 1 Mod 3 designations refer to documented production variations; the current product information describes the physical components as the same across those variants.

Finishing guidance

Remove the 3D supports carefully, then lightly sand or prime any horizontal striations from the printing process.
Prime with acrylic, lacquer, or enamel paint as appropriate for your project. Paints, primer, and adhesive are not listed as included components.
Use CA adhesive for attaching the part to a model or filling small imperfections, and test-fit it to the aircraft bomb bay or external racks before final finishing.
Fine details may be brittle, so this accessory is intended for experienced modelers rather than small children.
