About product

B-24 Liberator engines 1:72 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set replaces the radial engines of the American four-engine Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber in 1:72 scale. The Liberator was powered by air-cooled Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines. The castings bring a faithful rendering of the cylinders and the valve gear, which the base plastic treats in simplified form. The set is intended for more advanced modelers with resin experience. The seats and transitions match the Academy kit.

What the set is for

The front sections of the engine nacelles are clearly visible through the cowling rings, and their fidelity lifts the impression of the big bomber markedly. The resin castings have a finer radial structure than the plastic parts, and after painting in metallic shades with a wash they look realistic. They replace the simplified parts of the base kit.

Tips for working it

  • Wash the parts first in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Carefully cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); cement for plastic will not join them
  • Apply a primer before painting, as resin holds paint better once the surface is matted down

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the B-24 Liberator bomber in 1:72 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of a faithful engine section

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin engines that complete a B-24 Liberator kit you already own. The base model has to be bought separately.

They have a more faithful structure of cylinders and valve gear than the plastic parts, and they stand out inside the cowling rings of the four-engine bomber.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed to remove the mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and bonded with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
