I have an interest in building some firebomber aircraft in 1:144 scale and would like to convert a B-24 Liberator to a PB4Y-2 Privateer. I know it will be a tough assignment, with quite a bit of scratchbuilding, but has anyone already done such a thing; in any scale? Are there any build or conversion links, plans or guidelines etc., such as information on where to cut, shape and join items to make a decent model? My build will only be to 1:144 scale so it doesn't have to be super-detailed. Although the aircraft concerned are WW2 airframes, hence why I am posting here, I would like to make a firebomber Privateer similar to the one below The basic shape and work would be similar to its wartime configuration but with glazing closed over etc., plus the water-tank bulge underneath. I would be grateful to hear from anyone with any information, advice or help on this please. Mike

Does anyone have a reasonable set of plans for the type? A quick scan on google came up a blank and TBH, I only really need the underside - I've a nice little whiff planned around a Matchbox one as a slightly more developed version with a retractable u/c and wanted to use the JP T1 as a guide. Wish I'd picked up a Maintrack kit when I had the chance!

Would anyone know if there accurate plans available for the armored cab on the FAMO halftrack, the 18 ton Sdkfz 9. I have a few of the Trumpeter & Revell 1/72nd models, & I thought I might try to scratch build this version since it would stand out from the others I have found a couple of very good build articles in 1/35th scale, but mine will be in 1/72nd.. Thanks in advance for any help. Carl T
