NEW TOOL - Consolidated B-24H Liberator 1:72 Scale | Airfix

The second of America's great four-engined heavy bombers of the Second World War, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator 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 design and 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.

Airfix 1/72 B-24H will be the best 1/72 scale B-24 kit in the world.

Fond memories of building a 1/72nd B-24 as a kid!

Looking forward to this kit! "Thanks" Airfix...

It's a little different than the B-24 I built in 1963. 😁 My first big kit. Bought it in Chester.

Kit looks fantastic but I bet the undercarriage doesn't retract,turrets turn,elevators move or rear hatch open and the ladder come down to stop it tail sitting!
Sorry fond memories of building one watching Dr Who ( john pertwee) finished before bed time and played with. Wow nearly fifty years ago. So much airfix, so little time.

The Airfix B-24H will be the best 1/72 scale B-24 liberator of all time.

How many bombs come in the kit?
Airfix shorted the b17 kit with only 4 bombs that is 1/2 of the max load.

Any pilot figures?

Maybe it's the scale, but it looks like a toy in those pictures.

Good how they’ve painted it to look practically new
