Popular opinion among aircrews and general staffs tended to favor the B-17's rugged qualities above all other considerations in the European Theater. The placement of the B-24's fuel tanks throughout the upper fuselage and its lightweight construction, designed to increase range and optimize assembly line production, made the aircraft vulnerable to battle damage. The B-24 was notorious among American aircrews for its tendency to catch fire. Its high fuselage-mounted "Davis wing" also meant it was dangerous to ditch or belly land, since the fuselage tended to break apart. Nevertheless, the B-24 provided excellent service in a variety of roles thanks to its large payload and long range and was the only bomber to operationally deploy the United States' first forerunner to precision-guided munitions during the war, the 1,000 lb. Azon guided bomb. The B-24's most costly mission was the low-level strike against the Ploie?ti oil fields, in Romania on 1 August 1943, which turned into a disaster because the defense was underestimated and fully alerted while the attackers were disorganized.The B-24 ended World War II as the most produced heavy bomber in history. At over 18,400 units, half by Ford Motor Company, it still holds the distinction as the most-produced American military aircraft.Item No 81774Item Name US B-24J LiberatorBar Code 6939319217745Scale 1:48Item Type Plastic Model Aircraft KitModel Dimension Length: 430.3mm Wingspan: 694.6mm Total Plastic Parts 490+Total Sprues 20 sprues and tiresChromeplate Parts n/aResin Parts n/aMetal Parts n/aPhoto Etched Parts 1 pieceFilm Accessory n/aReleased Date 2023-12More Features - Detailed fuselage&wing w/accurate design- Finely detailed cockpit,gear cabin,- Grooved rubber tires- PE parts includedShipping PolicyWe do combine shipping please use eBay Add to Cart Future.Please look at the estimated time which is below price.International customers are responsible for customs duty and any taxes(if they have them).International buyers may experience delivery delays due to customs and other unforeseen event that will vary delivery time.
