The Douglas B-18 Bolo, introduced into service in 1936, was a medium bomber designed to replace the obsolete Martin B-10. This aircraft, developed from the civilian Douglas DC-2, was initially the primary bomber of the United States Air Force (USAAC). Although it was surpassed by more modern designs by the start of World War II, the B-18 Bolo was hoped toin auxiliary roles, including crew training and anti-submarine patrol missions.
The aircraft was equipped with radar and other innovations during the war, which increased its effectiveness in anti-submarine operations, particularly in the Atlantic and Caribbean. The B-18 Bolo thus contributed to the defense of Allied sea lanes, although its combat potential was limited.
Special Hobby's 1/72nd scale model faithfully captures the appearance of this machine during World War II, including accurate detail of the fuselage, wings and distinctive markings. It is ideal for modelers interested in lesser known aircraft from this period.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed to assemble the model.
