Quickboost QB72338 U.S. Recognition lights 1/72 – resin recognition lights for American WWII aircraft

Quickboost QB72338 U.S. Recognition lights 1/72 is a high-quality accessory set designed for precisely recreating details in the popular 1:72 scale. This product is dedicated to all modelers building American military aircraft models used during World War II. The set includes a collection of resin recognition lights—distinctive equipment elements that were installed on many USAAF and US Navy aircraft from 1939-1945.

Historical information

Recognition lights were standard equipment on Allied aircraft, enabling friend-or-foe identification in combat conditions and facilitating identification during night operations. They were used on bombers and fighters such as the B-17 Flying Fortress, P-51 Mustang, or P-47 Thunderbolt. The use of recognition lights minimized the risk of accidental friendly fire, which was crucial during intensive air operations over Europe and the Pacific.
