Douglas B-18 Bolo According to 1934 specifications issued by USAAC High command B-18 Bolo was designed. The DB-1 (factory designation) design was derived from the design of the famous civil Dc-2 aircraft. Unlike Dc-2, the DB-1 was mid-wing design with bomb bay located in the fuselage under the

wing's cross section and defensive armament consisting of three 7.65 mm machine guns located in manually operated nose and dorsal turrets and one in ventral hatch. Except of the initial batch later on, additional machines were ordered under designation B-18A. These new machines featured new, picked nose. In total 350 B-18s were ordered but only 312 machines were produced. B-18 then became the most widely used U.S. bomber of the pre war era. Bolos were stationed in continental USA so at Hawaii and Philippines. This is the first injection kit of B-18 ever produced. The kit contains four sprues with plastic parts, injected clear parts, resin and photo-etched parts Decals included offer markings for 4 USAAC machines in natural metal finish mostly with colorful engine cowlings.[+] More...
