Brengun 1:32 US Navy tow bar is a resin accessory for airfield and carrier deck scenes. It is not an airplane model but a piece of ground equipment with which an airplane was connected to a tug.
Responsibility details are not available.
This resin accessory from the maker Brengun represents the tow bar used by US naval aviation for handling aircraft. In 1:32 scale it is a part that nobody in a scene will overlook, because it connects two elements together: the airplane and the tug. The package holds this accessory alone; neither the airplane nor the tug is part of it.
An airplane was not moved across an apron or a deck under its own power unless it had to be. A tow bar was fitted between the nose landing gear and the tug, which transmitted the pull and at the same time kept a safe distance between the two machines. On the deck of an aircraft carrier aircraft were handled in a tight space, and precisely guided towing was the only way to line the machines up in a row. That is precisely why a tow bar is among the accessories that give a diorama action: a bar connected to the landing gear suggests that the machine is in the middle of being moved.
Before gluing, wash the casting in lukewarm water with dish soap and rid it of the residue of release agent. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine-toothed saw, and never break them off. Sanding is to be done wet and with breathing protection. It is glued exclusively with super glue (cyanoacrylate). For painting use a base coat and then a shade matching the chosen scene; a metal bar looks good with more pronounced wear, because in reality it was a roughly used tool. Scuffing of the edges with a dry brush and a dark wash into the recesses will do most of the work.
The set is an accessory, not a model in its own right. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and the base kit are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
