Just completed the first of a series of B-24 Liberators which flew from Dunkeswell, Devon, during WW2.
This is US Navy B24 J Liberator B-6 “T” of VB-105, 1944-45.
B-6 “T” was one of a few J-model Navy Liberators to retain the Emerson nose turret and a “high hat” upper turret. Note also the sea-blue replacement rudders. This aircraft was flown back to the US after the war.
The model kit used in this build is the 1975 release of Airfix’s 1:72 B-24J Liberator with generic decals from my stash. I scratch built the radar bubble replacing the belly gun turret and used Vallejo Air paints of White and US Navy Sea Blue to create, I hope, a passable likeness.
