Iain Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 5 minutes ago, monthebiff said: Excellent review Iain, you certainly get a lot of plastic for your money! Recieved my copy a couple of weeks ago and been have a look at the internals deciding what to do with it, interestingly the turret transparencies dont have the frosted look as reported unless they have changed this in later copies? Regards. Andy Hi Andy, Yes, my understanding is the front turret isn't frosted on later copies (they got around to polishing the moulds!) - but you still have a joint right across clear panels - so I'll be going the vac route and making some clear copies in PETG.

John1 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Great review, you provided a very good discussion on the multiple flaws of this kit. Thanks for all the time you put into it. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thanks John - hopefully of use. Need to crack on and build the beast now! Iain Martinnfb and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I know there was a post somewhere that indicated one must contact the vendor about replacement turrets that HB had sent out to said vendors; certainly HB would send me some if I had no vendor to contact (random dealer on ebay), right? Never dealt with their CSR's before. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 As per the the Jealous thread ... I got mine complete with clear turrets ... Rog Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Well I'm a complete Liberator fan, and I'll pass on the kit: it seems like a lot of work to get it to the standard I want, and frankly I have other models to do. This may sound negative, but my point is that the review - a very comprehensive one, thanks for taking the time and trouble - has done its job and enabled me to make an informed decision to purchase, or in this case to not purchase.

Gerhard Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I will build this straight OOB. Looks close enough to a B-24 for me. Brilliabt review Iain, thanks a mill. Martinnfb and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Turret frosting - I spent a few minutes with some Micromesh Pads and Novus Plastic Polish on mine and it came up a treat (apart from the visible seam across the middle).

firefly7 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Helo Lain, I'm waiting for the glass nose version, but i'm going to buy the aftermarket gear now, just in case it disappears later. I assume it's the same as on the J, could you verify that it is. Thanks, and thank you for all you do for us. Ruben. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I puny metal landing gear last week, think they are cast to order so shouldn't be a problem with them disappearing. Regards.
