About product

The portable A-4 oxygen cylinder in 1:72

A small but rewarding addition to an interior: the set carries A-4 type oxygen cylinders for US wartime aircraft in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit and not part of the airframe, but equipment that gets distributed around the cockpit and the fuselage. The cylinders are printed in layers, so they have a smooth cylindrical body with no parting line, and according to the manufacturer they come with decals for the labels.

What the cylinders were for

At high altitude the crews of US bombers could not do without oxygen, but the supply in the aircraft was fixed and ran to each station through a hose. The portable A-4 cylinder with its regulator let a crew member disconnect from the fixed system and move to the bomb bay or to another gun position without suffocating. It was therefore hung on bulkheads throughout the fuselage and appears in period photographs almost everywhere.

How to use them

Cut the cylinders from the print support with a sharp scalpel and smooth the flat left behind. Spray them in a flat green, pick out the valve and the reducer in a metal tone and add a thin wire as the hose, because that is what turns a tiny cylinder into a believable object. Choose the placement from photographs of the particular type; most often they hung on the fuselage sides near the crew stations. They fit into a model even where only part of the interior is visible, and they populate the space at once.

Who it suits

  • builders of US bombers with a lit interior
  • makers of scenes where the inside of the fuselage is visible
  • modelers who collect small equipment to have on hand

Apart from the printed cylinders themselves and the decals, the package offers nothing else.

FAQ

US aircraft of the Second World War, above all the multi-seat types with a roomier interior.

Do not count on hoses. Thin copper wire bent into a curve replaces them easily.

Yes, the difficulty is low. It is mainly a matter of separating the parts from the support carefully and painting them cleanly.

The set is conceived as a multi-piece one, but the exact count is better checked against the description on the box.
