The Airfix Consolidated B-24D Liberator Model Kit is the perfect addition to your Airfix model collection.

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator actually began development after the Army Air Corps approached the company to build B-17 Flying Fortresses. Unimpressed at the prospect, Consolidated proposed that they could produce their own bomber in the same time it would take them to establish production lines, and it would be better than a Flying Fortress.

When their XB-24 prototype took to the air on 29th December 1939, it was a very different-looking aeroplane to the B-17 Flying Fortress, with its shoulder-mounted thin wings, deep, yet narrow fuselage and twin-boom tail, it had a maritime aircraft appearance about it.

Following its eventual USAAF introduction in 1941, the B-24 Liberator was produced in vast quantities, serving in every theatre during the Second World War, and making a vital contribution to the Allied War effort.

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator is always a great kit subject and this 1:72 scale version is ideal for more experienced modellers. With 258 parts to put together and two different US Air Force schemes to choose from, you can build your own iconic historical aircraft.
