About product

Consolidated B-24J Liberator 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the famous American four-engine bomber in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. It is a sizable model with a richly worked out full interior including the bomb bay, with photo-etched parts and rubber tires. The package offers three marking options. With a span of over 69 cm the assembled model is a genuine giant of the shelf.

The real subject

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American heavy four-engine bomber of the Second World War. It was marked by a narrow, high-mounted Davis wing, twin fins and a roomy bomb bay. The B-24J version was the most widespread variant, with an improved bombsight and turrets. Liberators became famous for their long range and large bomb load and for service over Europe as well as in the Pacific; they are among the most numerously built American combat aircraft of their day.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and work in subassemblies. Finish and paint the interior and the bomb bay before you close the fuselage and the wings. Apply a primer before painting; spraying with an airbrush is ideal. For natural metal schemes, metalizer paints laid onto a smooth, polished base work well; camouflaged machines can be managed with an ordinary acrylic set. Bond the photo-etched parts with super glue.

Who the model is for

  • More experienced modelers who want to enjoy building a large bomber
  • Collectors of Allied Second World War aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Fans of the US Army Air Forces and of strategic bombers
  • Modelers who will appreciate a full interior and an open bomb bay

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

FAQ

The kit is in 1:48 scale. It is a sizable four-engine bomber, and the assembled model has a wingspan of over 69 cm, so allow for enough room in a display case.

Yes, the kit contains a richly broken down full interior including the bomb bay. It pays to finish and paint it before the fuselage is closed.

Because of its size, the part count and the photo-etch we recommend it rather to more experienced modelers. A beginner will manage it, but it is a more demanding, longer project.
