B-24 Liberator Olive Drab 2800mm (110.2") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1036-001
The Consolidated B-24 Liberator is an American heavy bomber, designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego, California. At its inception, the B-24 was a modern design featuring a highly efficient shoulder-mounted, high aspect ratio Davis wing. The wing gave the Liberator a high cruise speed, long range and the ability to carry a heavy bomb load. Early RAF Liberators were the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean as a matter of routine. In comparison with its contemporaries, the B-24 was relatively difficult to fly and had poor low-speed performance; it also had a lower ceiling and was less robust than the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. While aircrews tended to prefer the B-17, General Staff favored the B-24 and procured it in huge numbers for a wide variety of roles. At approximately 18,500 units – including 8,685 manufactured by Ford Motor Company – it holds records as the world's most produced bomber, heavy bomber, multi-engine aircraft, and American military aircraft in history.
The Nexa B-24 Liberator is a .40 size electric or gas option scale series warbird with a 2800mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered with a fuel-resistant covering. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes fully functional fowler flaps, painted pilots, machine guns, dummy bombs and other scale details. The large battery hatch affords ample room for either electric or gas setups. To complete the scale appeal of this B-24, you can purchase the complete set of retracts and scale struts here. Impress at your flying field with this iconic stunner!
