Eduard 648348 GBU-43/B MOAB 1/48 – realistic reproduction of the world's most powerful conventional bomb

The Eduard 648348 GBU-43/B MOAB kit in 1:48 scale is a highly detailed bomb model crafted by the renowned manufacturer Eduard as part of the Brassin series. This product is aimed at modelers who appreciate the highest level of detail and authenticity in the model-building process, allowing for a faithful replica of the famous GBU-43/B MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast) bomb, often referred to as the "Mother of All Bombs."

The GBU-43/B MOAB is an American aerial bomb with a weight of 9.8 tons. It was developed in the United States as the heaviest non-nuclear aerial weapon in history. Its history dates back to the early 21st century — it debuted in the US arsenal in 2003, while its first combat use occurred in 2017 during an attack on ISIS positions in Afghanistan. The MOAB has been used to destroy heavily fortified military positions in hard-to-reach terrain, serving as a symbol of the technological superiority of modern US armed forces.
