RAF Liberators

Hey folks,
I'm normally a lurker here, I don't tend to post outside of my regular sites just read other peoples stuff. But I've been told I should post this over here so here I am, cap in hand showing you my finished bird. It's out the box and yes I'm fully aware of all the shortcomings of the kit, Davis Wing, Turrets yardy yar etc etc  
I've put Master Model Barrels on it and some RB belts, not that you can see them, but other than that she's El Naturel
Finished in Alclad, Gunze and Ushchi metal powders, weathered with Mig products.
Thanks for looking and be gentle.........
Gary

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 





 

It's me again with yet another 1/32Liberator build from HobbyBoss this time it's the 'D'.
Built almost straight from the box, I did add belts, .50 cals from Master Models, National ingsignia Stencils from DN-Models and standard Stencils from Profimodeller.
Painted with Gunze Acrylics and Lacquer paints and weathered with Ammo of Mig washes etc.
For all the Facebook users who are bored of seeing me spamming this, sorry  :D

Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Well if I'd been making a formation plane I could of painted off the nose glazing and it probably would of been ok with what was recommended in the instructions which is 300g, but as I wanted to be able to see through the cockpit area and not see huge chunks of lead etc I had to put it under the Navs area which is a lot further to centre of gravity. In the end I put almost 600g of weight in, this was mostly under the Navs area (under the Mid Upper) with the last 150g actually inside the Navs area painted interior green so you won't see it.
 
Yeah Iain I converted my garage workshop in to my Hobby room, the area I setup is removable and comprises of a fold out table and a roll down backdrop.
That window at the end is where the old roll up door was.
