B-24J Liberator "Aquarius"
7/25/2023 Finally done, basically. Going to College, last one for a while 🙁
March 6th, 2023: Applied the kitsworld decal to the nose and it looks amazing! Still some work to be done however.
3/17/2023 waiting on some USAF decals for the wings etc on the plane.
Photo from February 14th, 2023. Painting of the fuselage and wings complete, deicing boots need to be repainted.
Closeup of the front port side of the Liberator. Focusing on where the snazzy kitsworld decal is going to go >🙂
Above view of the model, pledge yet to be applied for a glossy finish. Wingspan is about 2 feet, typical of a big scale Liberator like this one.
Photo from 2/14/2023. Masking tape remains on the front turret and cockpit canopy as they need another coat of paint.
Cockpit of the Liberator, pilots in their seats.
Full view of the forward section of fuselage, 4 figures inside. Worth mentioning that the bombardier section is now full of pennies in order to weigh it down sufficiently.
Photo from December 3rd, 2022, early into the build.

Gus M@Christian W I used different 1/48 crew figures from my backlog of Revell Kits, pilots and turret gunner from the B26, maintenance workers are from the b24 kit I believe.
