About product

Quickboost 1:72 B-24D Liberator gun barrels

A set of replacement machine gun barrels for the model of the American B-24D Liberator bomber in 1:72 scale. It is made by Quickboost, the accessory line of the Czech company Aires. According to the available information the parts are cast from resin. It is neither a kit nor an aircraft model: it is a detailing accessory with which you replace the original plastic barrels from the box. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.

What replacing the barrels gains you

The Liberator was generously armed for defense, with machine guns in powered turrets and in the waist positions, so several barrels are visible on a model at once. Injection-molded plastic, however, has its limits on such a small part: the barrel tends to be thicker than it should be, and its muzzle is solid. A resin casting manages a thinner diameter and a hollowed muzzle, which is visible at first glance even in the small 1:72 scale. It is one of those improvements that takes little effort and visibly raises the level of a finished model.

Use

  • Carefully cut the original plastic barrels off and level the area.
  • Separate the resin parts from the casting blocks with a saw or a cutter; do not snap them off.
  • Do the sanding and cutting wet and with respiratory protection, as resin dust must not be breathed in.
  • Wash the parts in lukewarm water with dish soap before gluing (mold release agent residue).
  • Glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), as ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on resin.
  • Apply a primer before painting, otherwise the paint holds poorly on smooth resin.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the Liberator in 1:72 and want to take the detail of the defensive armament beyond the level of the plastic in the box. Working with resin calls for a little practice and patience, but with a part of this kind it is a manageable improvement even for a moderately advanced builder.

An accessory for modelers, not a toy. Do not breathe resin dust in; sand wet and in a ventilated area. Cyanoacrylate glue bonds skin instantly too, so protect your eyes and hands.

FAQ

It is not. This is purely a set of replacement machine gun barrels. The B-24D Liberator model, glue and paints are not included in the package and have to be obtained separately.

Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Ordinary cement for plastic does not soften resin and the joint will not hold. First wash the parts in water with dish soap and roughen the mating face.

Yes. The difference comes above all from the thickness of the barrel and the hollowed muzzle: a plastic barrel from the mold tends to be thick and solid, while a resin casting looks more delicate and more realistic.

With a little care, yes. The most demanding part is separating it from the casting block and sanding it cleanly. Do the sanding wet and with respiratory protection.
