First Look
This is an extensive photo-etched detail set for the Revell-Monogram 1/48 B-24J Liberator kit. The photo-etch sheet measures 8.5" x 5.5" and is loaded with parts as you can see in the images. This set includes:
- Cockpit window frames (paint these and you have no window masking!)
- Cockpit armor plating
- Interior cockpit details includeing new seats, control columns and throttle levers
- Extensive new structure to overlay the front and rear gun turrets. This includes new gun details as well
- Interior walkways and bulkheads for the bomb bays
- Engine ignition harnesses and supercharger details
- Main gear wheel hub details
- Nosegear door interior details
- Main wheel well interior detailing
- Main gear torque links
This set will take the already-nice Revell-Monogram kit (previously reviewed here) and add additional details for the afflicted AMS modeler. You can see their full line-up of products on the Flightpath website.
