Eduard 481140 B-24J undercarriage HOBBY BOSS 1/48 – photo-etched undercarriage detail set

The Eduard 481140 B-24J undercarriage set is an advanced collection of photo-etched parts designed for the plastic B-24J Liberator aircraft model by Hobby Boss in the popular 1/48 scale. This product is intended for modelers who wish to enhance the realism of the undercarriage of this iconic American WWII bomber.

The B-24J Liberator is a heavy bomber designed by Consolidated, used mainly by the United States of America, but also by other Allied nations. The aircraft took part in numerous operations on all fronts of World War II – including strategic bombing missions in Europe, the Middle East, and combat over the Pacific, during the years 1943-1945.

The set, manufactured using high-quality brass sheets with photo-etching technology and supplemented with precise resin details, allows for faithful reproduction of elements such as detailed levers, wiring, locks, actuator hydraulics, and other structural details of the main and nose landing gear. Thanks to the use of thin brass sheets, unmatched sharpness and precision of detail are achieved, far superior to typical plastic model parts. The set significantly enhances the realism of the most simplified sections of the original HOBBY BOSS kit.
