Iain Beat ya! You can add the publication year, though, if it's in the book. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Beat me to it Wilco Kev - there seems to be some interest around these parts in the Privateer these days! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of detail in there - well worth acquiring if you like Privateers! Not much on the French Aeronaval airframes - but superb coverage of the airframe and operations with the US Navy. This is one of the most comprehensive Naval Fighters books I've seen at 240 pages and the best reference on this aeroplane I've seen... Iain 1 On my "to get" list, as are several other Ginter titles, but just way too expensive for me, at least for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I agree with Kev, reviews of either would be most welcome. In particular, I'd be really interested in seeing the Ginter contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Some deliveries this week - and some refs I already had: So - reference info coming together - and about to start drawing up some stuff - but we need the HobbyBoss kits now! Have fun... Iain Martinnfb, LSP_Kevin, Uncarina and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richdlc Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I've got every book going on the B-24 mate, let me know if there's any specific research or photos that you need Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Wow, looks like you have about every 2D and 3D reference possible, Iain! So the B-24 is due out Nov, right? So will the Privateer conversion be a Xmas release? It is going to be a lots of work! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I'm not sure what a full 1/32 Privateer conversion would need to sell for, but I'd be willing to shell out quite a bit personally. I think the price point of the HB 24 will make any of these types of conversions more viable to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I'm surprised that with all the interest that they didn't press out a Privateer with the "J" and "D". Consolidated mess I say! Cheers...Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 OK - I've read stuff, looked at drawings, studied photos, read more stuff - what I really *need* now is a B-24 kit! The anticipation is killing me - but inspiration still very high Iain LSP_K2, Kagemusha and Shawn M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yup - lots and lots of squirrels here too - all part of the 'fun' I guess! Iain LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Another thread of mine that I've moved to the Multi-Engine Group Build. Started a few months back to collect info - I can assure everyone that not a single sprue bag in the kit has been opened yet - so the 'build' is still at 0% - honest guv! I need to get the 'wing fix' I'm working on for my Liberator build sorted before I fully start on this one - but I have been working through probable cut lines to extend the fuselage. Maybe a week, or two, before I make any substantive progress - but plan is to do a lot of this one alongside the B-24/Liberator GR Mk.VI I'm working on. What a brilliant time to be a Large Scale Planes builder, eh?! Blue Skies... Iain LSP_Kevin, alaninaustria, Erwin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
