Product Description

The Consolidated B-24 "Liberator" long range bomber was the most produced U.S. aircraft of World War 2. They were used in operations in every combat theater during the war. Because of the B-24's great range, it was particularly suited for such missions as the famous raid from North Africa against the oil industry at Ploesti, Rumania on August 1, 1943. This feature also made the airplane suitable for long over-water missions in the Pacific Theater (used by the NAVY in PB4Y form). When production ended in May 1945, 18,475 B-24's had been built.

Limited Edition of 1500 Models Worldwide

During WW2, young airmen separated from home, family, loved ones and a familiar way of life often sought ways of escaping the harsh reality of war by personalising their aircraft with what has become known as nose art. Humour, slogans, nicknames, cartoons, girls; all were used to bring a touch of light relief to their deadly day-to-day existence. The Corgi Nose Art range aims to capture some of the superb works of art that adorned aircraft on all sides of the conflict. Each model includes a diecast body panel featuring the art in colourful, large-scale detail.

Scale: 1/72, Wingspan: 18.25", Length: 11.25"
