About product

Eduard B-24J Liberator bomb bay: photo-etch for 1:48 scale

This full photo-etched set from Eduard is devoted to the bomb bay of the Consolidated B-24J Liberator bomber in 1:48 scale. An open bomb bay belongs among the most rewarding areas of the big four-engine machine to look at, and it is exactly what the accessory focuses on. The set extends the base kit and does not make up a model on its own; count therefore on a kit of the aircraft as a necessary basis.

The real subject

The bomb bay of the Liberator was solved unconventionally: the large fuselage took two separate sections and the doors did not open to the sides but rolled up along the sides of the fuselage like a roller shutter. This arrangement reduced aerodynamic drag when they were open over the target. B-24J bombers struck at refineries, transport hubs and industrial plants all over Europe, and in the Pacific they supported the advance of the Allied forces from island to island. An open model thus tells the story of a machine being prepared for a combat sortie.

Tips for working with photo-etch

Dry-fit the more complicated three-dimensional parts without glue first and check how they follow on to the fuselage of your particular kit. Make the bends in one go and decisively, as repeated bending tires the metal and breaks it. Reach for cyanoacrylate for firm joints; on busy surfaces an accelerator helps, as it speeds up the curing.

Who the set is useful for

  • modelers planning an open bomb bay on a Liberator
  • builders of dioramas with an aircraft being prepared for a mission
  • lovers of American four-engine machines
  • more advanced builders in 1:48 scale

FAQ

Count on the usual work; a trial fit will show where to thin the plastic down or take it away.

Yes, but the set only comes into its own with the doors open.

Cyanoacrylate is the proven choice; a gel consistency suits large areas.
