Well a brief update is in order.

 

The time is here to throw a bit of paint at the white pieces.  My normal is a black under coat and then the main color.  I did some research and found that Liberators had a mix of colors but a couple of sources show Dull Dark Green for the forward sections, Aluminium for the bomb bay, and Interior Green for the aft sections.  I went with this.

Then the detail painting began.

I threw some dry brushing on as well to give it just a bit of wear.

 

Like I said just a brief update but turning a corner.

 

Next will be to continue to permanently attach the detail pieces.

 

 

 

All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

How about a very brief update.

 

The interior of the Revell 1/48 B-24D is near complete. Just a couple of tidy up type of things to do. I have also finished off the wings. Still a ways to go but closer to the end than the beginning at this point.

And now a bit of news. Beginning this update pictures will be minimal. I spoke at length to a magazine editor recently and he is interested in this build. I am allowed to show teasers but not the whole shooting match. I agreed to this and am honored he likes my work.

 

All comments, critiques, and criticism encouraged.

That is a hell of a busy looking interior!  Well done, it looks amazing.  I wouldn't have wanted to be the crew that had to regularly crawl or sit-n-scoot through that center section over the bomb bay on any kind of regular basis.

Some seriously nice scratch building happening here with great results :clap2:

 

As you encourage comments, critiques, and criticism I like to mention one thing. After all the great work you done on the interior, I find the engines a bit underwhelming.  Why not use your scratch building skills on them as well?

 

Cheers, Peter

Just a brief update on the 1/48 Revell B-24D.

 

The fuselage is closed and the wings are there but not glued, maybe not at all.  Only real issues have been with the tail.  I have split the lower section four times and the upper twice.

More to come.
