Consolidated B-24 Liberator, Wheel Bays detailing set (for HobbyBoss) Scale 1:32 Metallic Details MDR3202

Metallic Details MDR3202 is a mixed-media Detail Set for wheel bays on the Consolidated B-24 Liberator in 1/32, designed for the HobbyBoss kit. It combines 3D-printed resin structure with photo-etched parts to refine bay depth, edges, and small fittings in an area that stays visible even on a finished model.

Unique angle: wheel bays are “shadow zones” where flat kit surfaces can look empty. Added structure and thin PE elements help create layered depth, so the bays read as a real compartment rather than a smooth cavity once painted and washed.

The B-24 Liberator is an American heavy bomber designed by Consolidated Aircraft. This set focuses on wheel bay detailing only; final fit and the exact amount of visible detail depend on your kit’s bay openings and landing gear configuration.

For modelers: dry-fit the 3D-printed bay parts against the wing/fuselage halves before glue to confirm alignment and closure. Assemble the main resin bay structure first, then add PE parts after priming so thin details stay sharp. Paint the bay interior before final wing closure, and re-check clearance for landing gear legs and doors as you go.
