About product

G-1 oxygen tanks for American aircraft in 1:72

The item falls under interior equipment: it contains the tanks designated G-1 of the kind fitted in American machines during the Second World War. They are printed directly, with no mold, and according to the manufacturer a decal sheet comes with them. They are fitted into a model where the interior is visible – at the wing roots, along bulkheads or in the space behind the pilot.

Background

A supply of oxygen was among the key equipment of machines operating at high altitude. The tanks were distributed around the airframe so that a single hit would not deprive the crew of the whole source, and their placement differed from type to type. For a modeler that is practical information: the placement has no single right answer and it is best to work from documentation for the machine you are building.

Finishing and painting

Take the tank off the print structure in small steps so that the wall does not crack. Make the base coat dark, lay your own shade over it and bring out the edges with a lighter tint, so that the cylinder does not become a flat blot. Metal fittings come alive when a graphite pencil is run along an edge. If the tank lies in shadow, add a lighter highlight on the upper surface – the eye then reads the shape better. Connecting pipework can be replaced with stretched sprue or thin wire.

Intended for

  • modelers finishing open interior spaces in 1:72
  • builders of dioramas with vehicles under maintenance
  • anyone interested in period aircraft equipment

The set is designed as an accessory for a model under construction, and other equipment does not belong to it.

FAQ

It depends on the type of aircraft. Work from documentation for the particular machine, as the placement differed between types.

Yes, it is a different designation and a different shape. The manufacturer offers each type as a separate set.

With a lighter tint along the upper edge and a darker tone at the lower part, so that the shape does not disappear.

Do not count on it. Stretched sprue or thin wire bent into a curve replaces it easily.
