BloorwestSiR Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Here's my RCAF Liberator. It's the Hobby Boss B-24J kit. I added the Profimodeler belly radome, Cold War Studio resin turrets and Master barrels. Cockpit details are from an Eduard set. I didn't attempt to fix the wing profile but I did fill in the upper turret opening. The pics aren't the best as the plane is a bit of a challenge to move around. I'll try and get some better pics outdoors where there a bit more room once the weather improves.

Jack Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 wow, i like this one very much, great build, and indeed a "challenge" to get around to have some pictures taken, especially in a tight place. Looking very good Jack. BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 nice to see these schemes being built i have those turrets too and they do look reasonably good it's such a shame that the lack of the correct Bolton Paul rear turret limits the number of aircraft you can make severely - your finish is too clean for my taste but it's certainly inspiring me to keep wanting to build mine in those colours thanks for sharing Nick BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easixpedro Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Looks amazing! Those Cold War Studios turrets make a tremendous difference! Did you replace the oversize tires? (tyres? Wheels?) Happy to see one of these completed--gives me hope that it can be done. -Peter BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thanks everyone! I'm happy with the way it turned out. I had a couple setbacks but they were self-inflicted. 2 hours ago, easixpedro said: Looks amazing! Those Cold War Studios turrets make a tremendous difference! Did you replace the oversize tires?

BloorwestSiR Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Thanks Andy and keV. It's a big plane so not the easiest to move. Hopefully I'll be able to get some decent photos soon. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
