GBU+57+Cradle

This is a 1:20 scale model of the GBU-57 cradle, faithfully inspired by reference photos of the real unit. It features a steel-like frame with wood-style inserts for an authentic touch. Included are optional taller inserts, which—while not strictly accurate—make it possible to display the bomb with its rear flaps open. That said, the cradle frame itself is also slightly taller than the actual unit. Artistic liberty? Absolutely but at some point you just have to draw the line.

This cradle system is adaptable to various GBU-57 bomb models, but pairs especially well with the outstanding design by mxkoty: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1550863-gbu-57-bunker-buster-1-20.

For the wood color filament Jayo PLA Burly Wood is my choice but Bambu Lab PLA Matte Desert Tan would also look fantastic.
