Toshi - 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! And you are off to a great start on the Liberator. Wonderful detail on the interior. Will be watching your build as always.

Toshi,

You are truly amazing sir. Your rapid and well-built kits are a delight to follow.

I have the same Monogram B-24 kit in my stash but, because I'm not home (I'm on my way to Death Valley for some sunshine, wildflower photography, and hiking a couple of canyons ) I can't just pop open the box and check to see what part it is - the instructions might not even tell me - but I'm very curious as to what a certain part you've painted light brown/tan is. I'll attach a screen shot of the picture you posted that has the part in question. Not knowing much about the aircraft yet - it'll be a while before I do any research on the Liberator's interior - I'm hoping you can tell me what it is.

For a look at an almost "unrestored" B-24D, go see the Strawberry B at the USAF Museum.  You can use the 360 degree interior view.  The bombbay is in yellow zinc chromate.

That is the waist gun wooden ammo box from which the ammo belts are fed to the gun.

Great start Toshi, I really like the weathering inside the Liberator

 

I was just fooling around and killing sometime before Mrs. Toshi comes home from work.  Overall, I didn't expect it to look like it does now.  I was just enjoying the unusually warm and sunny weather here in NE Ohio.  It was a great day to be alive and well.

Thank you so much for the visit!

Toshi

Thanks Rich!

The pleasure has been mine, your membership has brought many hours of solid enjoyment, as we watch your builds progress and your skills make such great advancements. In such a short time you have indeed become a really good model builder and painter, quite an accomplishment.

The attention and discipline needed to build and finish, really is of benefit to you as therapy in your recovery. It shows clearly in your models and your detailed writing. 

Thanks for sharing so much about your personal journey, and please keep the fine models coming. Big thanks to Mrs. Toshi as well, she is certainly a big part of your hobby and recovery. You struck gold when you found her.

Best regards

Patrick

Keep it up Toshi, i know full well that model building has helped me recover 

from a sickness that had me down for the count for a couple of years.

i just resently started building agine, trying to get back into the swing of things.

Your builds look great keep them coming !

Here is is what was done last night.  I did a dry fit attachment of the wings to the fuesalage and it literally clicked together.  It almost needs no glue, but of course I will attach it as such with glue.  

The rest of my job today is putty and sanding, there's a lot TLC needed in this build but that's ok.  This time around I'm going to attempt to paint the Liberator in sections and then assemble the bomber.  Last year I assembled the B-24D whole and AB it in the living room.  That was not a good idea, I luckily did not ruin anything, and of course you members stepped in and described the hazards in doing so.  I learned my lesson then and continue to do so now.  Thank you everyone for you support, read, and replies.

Nice to see a bomber come up in your rapid fire builds. I have this kit also, but it's not slated for assembly any time soon. I'll be watching as usual.

It seems that kit has gotten more popular after the movie "Unbroken".  Glad to see you are re-adding her to the lineup after the generous gifting of the previous bird.

Save the trying out a NMF for a smaller project to get your feet wet on that.  Though I have no doubts at all you could pull off a first time attempt on a kit the size of this one.

I still am not sure of the paint scheme at this time.  I'm still thinking OD with a light grey underside.  I'll just wait and see how I feel.  Thanks for the visit!
