Its phosphorus fill produced an immediate incendiary effect on contact with air, followed by a dense smoke screen lasting at least two hours. Provision was made for nose or tail fuzing, though only the tail pocket was employed in service use. A single suspension lug was provided for British aircraft, with two additional lugs for U.S. suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Kits \u0026amp; Collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full range of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mpm-aircraft-resins\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eMPM Aircraft Resin Upgrades\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bombs-and-ordnance\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBombs \u0026amp; Ordnance\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for more WWII detail sets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MPM Hobbies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43037546250471,"sku":"0230","price":3.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7798\/9095\/files\/172-british-bomb-500-lb-ib-mk-1-set-of-4-mpm-hobbies-1_1024x1024_2x_9e8cf38b-5da4-4311-bb51-4dc3a82e09b9.jpg?v=1755304591","url":"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/1-48-british-bomb-500-lb-ib-mk-1-set-of-2","provider":"MPM Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
