1:144 Scale  Diecast Metal  – Consolidated B-24D Liberator  – Length: 5.5"  Wingspan: 9”

This Liberator model has its landing gear fixed in the extended position. It is mostly made of metal. It is certainly not a toy and will not survive been played with or a fall.

NOTE that this model is tail heavy, so that means that if resting on its landing gear, the plane would tip upward and the tail would touch the ground and the nose would point upward. That is why I did not show any photos without the display stand.

This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up.

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator is an American heavy bomber, designed by Consolidated Aircraft ofSan Diego, California. It was known within the company as the Model 32, and some initial models were laid down as export models designated as various LB-30s, in the Land Bomber design category.

At its inception, the B-24 was a modern design featuring a highly efficient shoulder-mounted, high aspect ratio Davis wing. The wing gave the Liberator a high cruise speed, long range and the ability to carry a heavy bomb load. Early RAF Liberators were the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean as a matter of routine. However, the type was difficult to fly and had poor low speed performance. It also had a lower ceiling and was less robust than its far better known counterpart, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. While aircrews tended to prefer the B-17, General Staff preferred the B-24, and procured it for a wide variety of roles.
