The bomb body is constructed of one piece of machined forged steel. A fuze pocket is drilled in the nose. The after end of the body is threaded internally to accommodate a male base plate. There is a fuze pocket drilled in the base plate. A sheet steel tail cone is attached to the base plate by eight bolts. Three trap doors in the tail cone give access to the fuze pocket.
Four Navy type tail fins are spot-welded to the tail cone. They are braced by a single set of box-type struts.
