It has "Diamond Lil" on the nose - would expect it to look like this:

I asked Gary about a project idea so I suspect this is part of that. Maybe a lot more young people will be introduced to these models!

Beautiful Liberator, the most produced bomber in WWII. What scale?

I'm hoping for Coastal Command, doesn't mean I'll get one .

Inkscape is free! https://inkscape.org/ If Gary releases a B&W version, it should be pretty easy to recolor.

By the way, Diamond Lil is a very rare early B-24 as they go with it's engines different than most of the Liberator's built later on. You can tell how this bird's engines are round symmetrically while most have the two (O) shapes on the sides.

yes, yes, yes, Costal Command!

Time for an update on "Diamond Lil"
Camo's done, hope I've got the " spinach n sand " the right colours.
Different to the dark Earth and green of the RAF

And maybe something more ink friendly after
