yeah...I had the same thought.
first I ignored the RAF fin flash...until I read about it originally being an RAF painted plane.
Then I wasn't sure.
And based on the info, the plane in the photographs might not be the original 41-11613 anyway.

But, I think I will bow to the available info and put the fin flashes back on.
Easy enough to do...and the model artwork mockups are just as easily altered.

...
also forgot to let everyone know that MrB17 pointed out to me, that the props
on LBG are reversed...backwards...
and as I said, not the first time that has happened!

Anyway, I have mirrored the artwork for all future models.
(For example, Blue Streak will have the altered props)
I'm not going to pull the LBG model just for that...but I will keep a set of
prop blades at the ready for anyone who asks (by email).
(You can also mirror reverse the props yourself when printing to get the correct part)

...
no I don't want to do that "First Seargent" assembly ship.

Yeah, I guess you'd see spots before your eyes and that would be without any alcohol or recreational pharmaceuticals! Imagine the first time anyone saw those in WWII, there probably would have been a lot of WT? LOL

I did a couple of assembly ships already.
And there are a couple more I like.
So I may do another one or two...one day.
But I don't want to get carried away with those.

I have a small issue with how some of these early assembly ships actually looked.
Later planes had more carefully executed paint jobs.
Better laid out designs, masked off, cleanly painted.

But in old photos, some of the early assembly ships show very sloppy,
brush and roller painted artwork and graphics.
The planes look quite the mess.

And I would love to (and rather) show them as they were,
but I don't have proper reference material.
(I don't like working from aircraft artist profiles)
So unless I have some good photos of a plane, I won't produce it.

Dave, you need to get this book…

http://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Mighty-Eighth-Robert-Jackiewicz/dp/8392491416

Fortunately I got my copy as a gift. It goes for a decent chunk of change but I can highly recommend it.

It goes for a much better price here…

http://www.aberdeenbookstore.com/books/air-combat-ww2/assembly-ships-of-the-mighty-eighth

The book on “Hacks” by the same author is also worth checking out.

I thought this plane was done already?
you asked me about this before, right?
but didn't Dell or someone else take care of this one?

if I am wrong, I will look into it.
I'll have to dig thru my files and see what I collected.
didn't this plane need some modifications though?

I'm not understanding.

Are you telling me I shouldn't do this model
because someone else [secret] is working on it right now?

I hate working on a model, only to have someone else put out the same model
just before I release it! So, I really don't want to do that to someone else.

So, I checked...and I did create a folder for this model some months back
but I really don't have too much researched yet on the NAMU PB4Y-1
And I definitely have not started a model.

But I love finding good photos like that B/W one!
And now you've got me seriously interested in that plane again! lol

I'm busy with some other stuff right now, but I've bumped it up the "to-do" list.
And if someone else is already working on a version of this plane, I invite them
to let me know privately.
Last thing I want to do is steal anyone's spotlight.
