Title: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: No.1 on September 03, 2018, 10:45:20 AM
There will be huge work but as well this is Hasegawa base, i just hope it will goes much easy, no matter of complexity of elements and number of parts ;) Interesting to mention that it have book and poster inside.

Good looking Liberator kit, and nice to see Hasegawa molded both types of propeller. Take your time, lots of bits to this one!!

As I say, easy and pleasure to build. Maybe a number of parts look frustrating but work steps is easy and parts match perfectly!

Pretty sure your fuselage colors are right for the airplane you're building. The rear of the airplane varied in primer color depending on when it was built and where. Most of the earlier Libs were in the zinc yellow like you've done. If you're building with bomb doors open, paint the bays in the same green as the front.

Thanks for the info! I will build it with bomb bay closed and Eduard suggest grey color for this area, so that was not correct
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky

Possibly it could be grey, the Liberator's interior colors alone could fill a small book.....

This slot in nose is excellent for lead (but not that much)
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: No.1 on September 19, 2018, 04:25:43 PM
Progress a bit, this kit definitely need assistance with weight
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: Second Air Force on September 20, 2018, 12:40:45 AM
Pack the engine nacelles with as much weight as you can, also behind the engine where it attaches if there is room.
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky

And one of the next step is making turrets and placing horrible number of small protection mask over transparent elements  :-wall Glory to Eduard who provide that mask, otherwise I will have reall 'crashing bones' effort to do all of this
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: draken35 on September 23, 2018, 11:57:04 AM
Eduard masks are a must for some kits... Like a Zero...
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: No.1 on September 23, 2018, 11:59:17 AM
True!!!
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: Second Air Force on September 23, 2018, 12:00:41 PM
Yes, masking takes a LOT of time with no masks--I've built seven of the old Hobbycraft/Academy B-24s and I can attest to how long it takes to mask off that big nose and the turrets!!!  This is coming along quite nicely, mate!

Good masking! Is the clear front fuselage assembly a good fit? I've only built the old Minicraft/Academy B-24s so this method is new to me.
Title: Re: B-24 Riders in the sky
Post by: No.1 on October 14, 2018, 12:52:55 PM
All fit is excellent, absolute no problems at all, kit is so fine to do, only I am so lazy last period

No matter that decals are easy to do, it took two days to me. Simply lazy period. And at least, I have protected gun  turrets and paint them. Main airframe get coat of wash and last step was flat varnish. Tomorrow go into small elements mounting.
