Rare & Unusual Paint Schemes Series 3 - B-24 Liberator
Issue One
is just about ready!watch for some detail pics coming soon!
Just putting on some finishing touches and tweaking some final areas.
In the "final design stage" as it were!
My Liberator series is based upon Marek's 1/50 scale Liberator
(available at ecardmodels.com)
Issue One is actually an LB-30
which required a few modifications to the original B-24D.
-many minor mods to skin panels, windows, etc.
-redesign of the Cockpit area and canopy.
-Engine reshape and redesign
-prop redesign
As well, the aircraft will feature historically accurate markings and a unique paint scheme.
I have also put a lot of effort into adding surface texturing and weathering
...and am currently in the process of adding 11, 988 individually placed rivets!
(I thought if I did too many, it would look overdone)
I think some of you may like this choice of bird for Issue One,
it has a very "patriotic" theme, using some traditional paint techniques from both American and British forces!
