Hello everyone
This is my first WiP post, so wish me luck. I picked up a Minicraft B-24J from a 'well-known online auction site', and am going to make it as Liberator VI KH408 'Lady X' of 159 Squadron in the Far East in 1945. I've bought some aftermarket stuff from Hannants, some RAF marking courtesy of Airfix, so off we go...
The kit was described as started, and the insides were painted a rather iffy green, so first job is to get rid of that:
I used Hannants Purisol, which works a treat, but smells absolutely foul, so it's best to do it either outside, or with a window wide open!
Once that's done, a coat of primer covered up the mess, and it's time to add some detail for the waist area. I'll be making it with the waist gunners' windows open, so might as well go for it:
The bulkheads fit just behind the rearmost vertical rib, and the walkway sits on the horizontal section of this.
More soon...
Simon
