One of type of airplane I really like but did not have chance to make it as illustration. Now start with this machine, version here will be PB4Y-2
-
One of my favorite "unsung" WWII types, too!
-
Good!!!
-
I work a bit on various details (hidden in this moment) and also glass. Most of time spent in analyze of archive images for capturing every details.
-
Work progress slow as well I check out all details on airplane. For now, I know that almost all panels are overlapping and many others details will be included. Preview of extract of archive images is included and level of details simply indicate that I will need long time to develop this illustration.

I've got one of the Koster vacuform conversion kits for the Privateer in 1/48 scale so this thread is of great interest to me!!!! I have a scheme for mine all picked out (dark blue, medium blue, white scheme) and maybe I'll find the kit since you've revived my interest in the PB4Y-2!
-
I do remember this conversion kit from '80, excellent you have it... maybe nice build come here?
-
Most of known panels are done but this is not end, I guess there will be variations in details. Next will be rivets.

Maybe I should! I have the Monogram kit and Koster kit, selected the paint scheme already.......only two things are missing right now--time and a place to put the finished model. It is a big machine in 1/48!
-
Trully big and soooo rare in model world :))
-
Yes, I bought this one many, many years ago and filed it away. In fact, I'm almost certain I bought this from Bill Koster in person at an IPMS National Competition.

Thanks, more and more coming :))

very good my friend !
-
Thanks :))
-
I can confirm--Consolidated used LOTS of rivets when they built an airplane!!!!!
-
True and need a lot of time to locate their accurate position. At least, I guess I did some 80% of fuselage rivets by now.
-
It looks good, your panel lines are quite accurate. All I can think of is that there are rivets about an inch apart along most of those lines!!
-
Thank you friend :)) I will keep on work and hope will complete fuselage today
-
lot of work, looks nice mate !
-
Thanks :))
-
Rivets are almost done. It remain to control em during the work and make update. remained are those on turrets. In this stage I find important to choose precisely subject as well not all Privateers are the same. So profile is here as well subject for details.
-
Taking details from wing bottom...
-
Its look like that most of rivets were done

-
That is my favorite paint scheme for the Privateer!!!!!!!
-
Yes, fade out original three tone with add of extra dark blue spots all over ;)
-
When I get around to building my 1/48 Privateer I have that exact scheme picked out. I can't remember the Bureau Number of the airplane I want to build but it was used for testing rocket-assisted takeoff equipment so I have several good photos of it.
