Bigger, better bombs
At 12,000 pounds each, Tallboy bombs needed specially-modified Lancasters to transport them to target-and the Tallboys were actually the lighter of the two special weapons England deployed to stop the V-weapons program. At 22,000 pounds, "Grand Slam" bombs were the most powerful conventional bombs deployed in WWII. These weapons were designed to damage hardened structures through earthquake-like vibrations. They were used to great effect against submarine pens, fortifications, and tunnels. Kit features a Tallboy and Grand Slam bomb plus the Lancaster with decals for three versions.
