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!

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.

I can confirm--Consolidated used LOTS of rivets when they built an airplane!!!!!
Title: Re: Consolideted Privateer
Post by: No.1 on April 23, 2018, 09:49:24 AM
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.
Title: Re: Consolideted Privateer
Post by: Second Air Force on April 23, 2018, 11:53:01 AM
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

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.

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.
