FR B-24 Liberator Released

[Bomber_12th]

Excellent, Jankees, I've been really hoping for some of the Zodiacs to be depicted! Phil Brinkman's artwork, across so many B-24's in that squadron, is legendary. I also love the large squadron codes they used, much like the fighters. Looking forward to these!

I also had some fun just the other day taking your repaint of "Suzy Q" out to its old airbase of Shipdham, using the True Earth Great Britain scenery.

there is one Coastal Command version in the package already.

It's not a D model. I'll be grabbing that Pisces scheme, thx!

a few more shots of the Zodiac aircraft and their fantastic nose art

and their large markings:

when researching the history of these aircraft (remarkably, none of them ever failed to return to base), I discovered that Pisces was later transferred to the 15th AF in Italy, ending up with the 461st BG. Obviously, they kept the noseart..

one more addition to the zodiac:

and I thought I'd try a bit more smoke on startup, but I may have overdone it a bit...

Jan, you're amazing! Thanks for all of these.

 

[wombat666]

Great stuff as usual Jan.
And a 'thank you' for the Pisces paint, both Sofie and myself are Pisceans.
My own personal Liberator!

Actually, there will be room for all of them, when completed.

Excellent work, Jan.

Thank You.

Three camouflaged ones, Bama Baby, Buttercup and Stand By, in the early paintscheme of the 454th:

Wow, these are beautiful! Are you going to do the entire Zodiac set?

[modelr]

My vote is for Sagittarius to be included.

 

[jankees]

I'll think about it..

Absolutely a outstanding set of skins for this aircraft. I wondered if anyone was going to do repaints for some of the 90th Bomb Group, the "Jolly Rogers" aircraft,
