Civilian B-24 Liberator Help

Hi Jeff. cheers, i had a look at your profile and noticed that you are into airline memorabilia. here in leeds we had the last hand painted BOAC advertisement (over an old travel agency ) unfortunatly the building was pulled down quite a few years ago and the artwork was destroyed as it was painted on the brickwork it showed the tail of a VC10 with a few passengers. its a pity that it could not be saved but i took a few photos of it a couple of weeks before its demise. some of the other civil stuff that i am going to build are two Viscounts( BEA and British Midland-if i can get the markings), two Herrons one as Shell oil's aircraft the other will be a Royal Navy a/c a DH Chipmunk in a british civil all yellow scheme or lufthansa training school and a DH twin otter and HP Herrald. good luck with the B24...Greg

If you are modeling in 72nd ,ditch the monogram and pick up the academy
Its a much better kit

Greg, sounds s though we're on the same track. I am also building a Mosquito and a Lanc, in addition to A Boeing 314 Clipper , Fokker Condor and Lockheed Electra 14 all in BOAC livery. I'll be sure to post some pics when done. There are a couple of the conversion items sold in E-bay for the Lanc and Mossie both -check there- very reasonable. That's where i buy almost all my rare kits. Good luck, Jeff

Hi Jeff. when you have done that Liberator can you post pics of it ? I would like to see it if you can. i have a tamia mozzie that i am considering doing as a civil transport with cammo as used during WW2 and am going to do a Lancastrian when i finally decide which scheme to do it in (any suggestions ?) glad to have another modeller on site who has an interest in the civil side of things.
BTW i know how you feel about those rivets. i have just finished sanding two revell lancasters, (OW my arm hurts LoL )...Greg

Well it looks as though I've got a lot o sanding to do since this Revell model definately doesn't have flush rivets! Thanks, Ray, for the quick reply.

ALL versions of the B-24 were flush riveted. I think the cargo version was
the LB-30
