Description: BRAND NEW IN BOX! RARE! Hobby Master 1:144 Air Power Series HA9104 Consolidated PB4Y Liberator Diecast Model USN VB-107, Subduer, Natal, Brazil, 19431:144 Scale Length WidthConsolidated PB4Y Liberator 5.5" 9.25" On September 15, 1941 VP-83 was formed at Dunkeswell, England and renamed VB-107 on May 15, 1943 at NAS Norfolk, Virginia. Here they received the Army B-24D Liberator that the USN designated PB4Y-1. Between June and July 1943 VB-107 transferred to Natal, Brazil. The task for VB-107 was to patrol off the coast of Brazil in search of German submarines and to destroy them when located. VB-107 became VPB-107 in October 1944. PB4Y-1 32057 ex USAAF 42-40572 "Subduer" remained in service until July 1945 when it was stricken off charge.Consolidated PB4Y Liberator Designed to fill a United States Army Air Corps need for a heavy bomber, the B-24 Liberator was first flown on December 29, 1939. The USAAC originally asked Consolidated to build the B-17 under license, but the company instead chose to submit a more modern design with greater speed, greater range and a heavier bomb load. Despite these advantages, the B-24 was more difficult to fly, had poor formation-flying characteristics, and was much more vulnerable to battle damage, which meant it never became the favored bomber among American aircrews. It did prove more than serviceable, however, especially for long-range missions.Hobby Master 1:144 Air Power Series The Hobby Master "1:144 Air Power Series" range presents detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft.Hobby Master "1:144 Air Power Series" diecast airplanes feature:Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.Interchangeable extended/retracted landing gear.Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".Accurately detailed underside with concealed screwheads.
