Hello all! I'm pleased to present my latest model, a 1/72 Coastal Command Liberator completed as BZ755 flown by F/O A. Cirko, No 10. Squadron RCAF around Autumn 1943. This is Eduard's "Riders in the Sky" reboxing of the Hasegawa kit with lots of extras including resin wheels and exhausts, etch cockpit and bomb bay and some scratch made details throughout the interior. The painting was done with airbrushed Mr Color and Tamiya paints weathered with oils and ground up pastel pigments. Overall I'm really happy with how it turned out: I enjoyed detailing the interior and I'm glad that the removable forward fuselage, held in place with magnets, allows some of this to be seen. I managed to stop it being a tail sitter by stashing away tungsten shot and weighted putty in every nook and cranny I could find, it weighs a tonne now but the undercarriage just about seems to be up to it... I was a bit worried about painting the white undersides but this turned out ok and I think I was able to stay on just the right side of the line with the weathering. Thanks to everyone who followed along for the last ten months on the WIP thread; your tips, encouragement and patience are really appreciated and I hope some useful bits and pieces were logged along the way, the link is here: Please enjoy the photos and let me know any thoughts, comments or questions and I'll get back to you below. Thanks for taking a look and Happy Christmas! Sam- 49 replies
