B-24D LIBERATOR STRAWBERRY BITCH The National Air Force Museum, in Dayton, Ohio, is the home of this historic World War II bomber. The plane is painted in a unique desert sand color that was typical of the schemes used in North Africa. The pink tint of this color gives it a distinctive appearance. The model has four highly detailed engines, rotating props, clear windows and turrets. The lower turret can be retracted or extended. #11639- 1/72 Scale $35.00 
PB4Y-1 SEA SEARCH LIBERATOR The Army’s success with the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber led the U.S. Navy to acquire the big plane for long ranging patrol missions. The crews of the planes searched the vast oceans for any telltale wakes from enemy submarines or surface vessels, and were well equipped to attack these prey. Due to their dull gray and white color, known as the “Sea Search” scheme, the big bombers were hard to detect and often were a complete surprise to an unwary target. #11633 -1/72 Scale $29.00 
PV-1 Ventura Early Version The Vega Ventura Navy patrol bomber was developed from the Lockheed Lodestar transport and used to detect and attack Axis submarines lurking in the convoy routes. The model has two detailed engines, cockpit interior, turning propellers, distinctive twin tail fins, clear cockpit windows, gun turret and astrodome. Markings include the short-lived red bordered national insignia. #11638 -1/72 Scale $17.00
F/A 18A HORNET The swift F/A-18A Hornet is now the Navy’s front line fighter/attack bomber. This trim little version of the Hornet has a clear cockpit canopy, two underwing tanks, four pylon mounted bombs, two Sidewinder and two Sparrow missiles. Individual afterburner exhaust pipes and detailed landing gear complete this model of the Marines’ Red Devil Hornet.#11605 -1/72 Scale $14.00 
B-24D LIBERATOR There were more B-24s built than any other American bomber. It was used on all the war fronts and was remarkably durable. This model depicts the first major production Liberator and carries the cartoon character, the Goon, from a popular comic strip of the day. The clear greenhouse canopy covers a detailed cockpit with a decal instrument panel. Inside the gun turrets you can see the deadly .50 cal. machine guns and the sliding-type bomb bay can be shown open or closed. Inside is a load of high explosive bombs. #11612 -1/72 Scale $30.00 
B-24J “DRAGON AND HIS TAIL” Touted as the most elaborate nose art on any combat plane, this naughty dragon flows along the side of the fuselage, clutching a frightened young lady in his claws. The lower ball turret can be retracted or extended and rotated. A full load of bombs clings to the internal bomb racks and can be seen if the model is built with the sliding doors in the open position. The four engines are precisely tooled and the propellers rotate. This model will stand out in any collection! #11614 -1/72 Scale $33.00 
VEGA PV-1 VENTURA GUNSHIP The Ventura was a successful, land based Navy patrol bomber, heavily armed for its size, it carried a lethal load of bombs and depth charges for attacks against German U Boats. The decal markings show an octopus like creature clinging to the plane for dear life. The solid nose is barbed with .50 cal, machine guns and two long-range fuel tanks hang under the wings. #11615 -1/72 Scale $15.00
