I'm working on a Coastal Command B-24 in 1/72nd scale, and would like to add a Leigh Light. Anyone make one?

Hi Bill,

Pavla set U 72-40 "Liberator GR Mk. V Part II" has a Leigh light, Boulton Paul rear turret, several vac clear parts for canopies, mid upper turret, etc. You also have a choice of 'Dumbo' chin radar or retractable ventral dustbin radar.

They also released a set "U 72-25 Liberator III/GR.V" which contains airfoil winglets and rockets.

I also seem to recall hearing that Belcher Bits was going to be releasing some Liberator accessories.

Hope this helps,
Tom

Thanks, Tom, that's PERFECT. Now, if they will ship to the US for a reasonable amount, LOL! I have emailed them and asked about availability.
