This was one of the largest bombs ever carried by an aircraft, and its dimensions are the story: so heavy that only the biggest bombers could lift it, and so long that the bomb bay had to be built around it. The shape is a plain steel casing with a boxed tail fin assembly, all of it dictated by weight and by fitting inside an aeroplane.
The mesh is efficient at 35,816 polygons and 36,006 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, with the geometry in the fin assembly, the lugs and the casing bands.
At $39 and built to StemCell specification, it suits cold war history and museum material, documentary and news graphics, defence and arms control visualization, education content and games. On sale since 2025.
