Douglas
B-18 & B-18A Bolo
Are you a
scratchbuilt lover of 1/72 scale WW II planes? Not only for you we offer
a look at a model of Douglas
B-18 Bolo which is
a mutation of EXECUFORM vacuum-formed kit and ITALERI Skytrain injection
moulded one. The Execuform kit provided fuselage, cowlings, resin
engines and metal propellers. However, the nose of fuselage was re-designed
because of B-18A variant being the origin in Execuform kit. WIngs,
horizontal and vertical stabilizer as well as undercarriage are Italeri
kit origin. Indeed, the wingspan had to be shortened. Concerning surface
it has been done in natural
metal finish being only possibility how to create a model of a plane
belonging to a U.S. Army Air Force at Hawaii in December 1941.
