A vital guardian of the Mid-Atlantic gap. This 1:72 scale diecast model represents the Consolidated B-24D Liberator (GR.Mk.III) FK228, serving with RAF Coastal Command No.120 Squadron out of Aldergrove, Northern Ireland, in 1943. During this pivotal year, No.120 Squadron utilized the Liberator's exceptional range to close the dangerous air-cover gap where U-boats previously operated undetected. This specific airframe was part of a unit credited with twenty attacks on U-boats in a single month, resulting in three confirmed kills that helped turn the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic.
This Collector Series model is an essential addition for enthusiasts of Coastal Command and maritime patrol history. Ideal for display as a centerpiece "heavy," it captures the unique antennas and camouflage scheme of the anti-submarine Liberators, serving as a tribute to the crews who flew exhausting long-range missions to protect the Allied convoy lifelines.
