Description

A long-range reconnaissance veteran of the Pacific Theater. This 1:72 scale diecast model recreates the Consolidated B-24D Liberator #42-72815 "Sky Witch," operated by the 400th Bombardment Squadron, 90th Bombardment Group "Jolly Rogers" at Biak, Indonesia, in November 1944. Modified with a B-24J style nose turret and auxiliary fuel tanks for extended visual reconnaissance, this aircraft is famous for surviving a grueling 40-minute engagement against nine Japanese A6M5 Zeros, successfully returning to base with vital intelligence after a 1,000-mile flight.

This Collector Series release captures the rugged Olive Drab finish and iconic "Jolly Rogers" tail insignia of the 90th BG. It is an excellent addition for collectors of WWII Pacific Theater aircraft, offering a detailed representation of the Liberator's unique profile and the specialized modifications used for high-stakes reconnaissance missions over Brunei Bay.
