Radar-equipped aircraft were known as Mickey ships, and this particular B-24 was converted to the role after its nose had been badly flak-damaged during a mission. Rebuilt with metal sheet, the forward fuselage area was duly adorned with the flamboyant paint job seen here. The Corgi "Aviation Archive" presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft. The vast Aviation Archive range has become the standard by which all other diecast airplane ranges are judged. Each Corgi model is based on a specific aircraft from an important historical or modern era of flight, and has been authentically detailed from original documents and archival library material. Famous airplanes and aviators from both military and commercial airline aviation are all honored.

Somewhat overshadowed by the popularity of the B17, the B24 was actually produced in larger numbers than any American aircraft during WWII with 18,431 aircraft eventually produced.[See more Consolidated B-24H Liberator products] |
