Stu Fone previews the first of Airfix’s 2024 new toolings, in the shape of it's superb 1/72 Consolidated B-24H Liberator
What a way to start a year! We bring you an exclusive preview of Airfix’s impressive, newly tooled 1/72 B-24H Liberator – a subject that’s received comparatively less attention when compared to the B-17 or Lancaster, yet was built in larger numbers – with a build to follow in May’s issue of Airfix Model World.
Airfix’s B-24H (A09010) comprises eight styrene runners in total: six are in the firm’s favoured dark-grey plastic, with two clear frames for the turret, cockpit and fuselage glazing. First impressions are properly positive: crisply rendered components, well-engineered parts breakdown and a lack of surface blemishes, meaning that the moulding quality is apparent immediately.
