About product

Douglas DC-6B Super Cloudmaster 1:72 (Heller)

An injection-molded plastic kit of a classic piston-engine airliner in 1:72 scale from Heller. This model of a large four-engine aircraft has finely engraved panel lines and transparent parts for the windows and the flight deck. According to the manufacturer the box holds decals for two airlines. It is the only kit of this aircraft in its scale; the exact contents follow the particular boxing.

The real subject

The Douglas DC-6 was an American piston-engine airliner of the late 1940s and the 1950s and one of the most successful machines of its era. The DC-6B was the purely passenger variant intended for long-haul routes and became known for its reliability and economy. The four radial engines gave the aircraft a good range; the DC-6B flew with a number of airlines around the world and many machines served for decades in the freight role as well.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and work in subassemblies. Finish and paint the flight deck glazing and the windows before closing the fuselage, and mask the transparent parts. On the large smooth surfaces of the fuselage, careful filling and sanding of the seams pays off. Apply a primer before painting; spray the glossy airline finishes with an airbrush and lay on a gloss coat compatible with the paint used before the decals so that they settle well.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of classic airliners
  • Fans of the era of four-engine piston aircraft
  • Modelers who enjoy dealing with large smooth surfaces
  • Intermediate builders in 1:72 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The subject is a four-engine airliner with piston radial engines. The DC-6B was the purely passenger variant for long-haul routes.

According to the manufacturer the box holds decals for two airlines. The exact contents follow the particular boxing.

Because of its size and the large smooth fuselage surfaces, which call for careful filling and sanding of the seams, we recommend it rather to intermediate modelers.
