Hi guys,

I managed to pick up the 1/48 Revell B-24D Liberator at a show for £15. I would like to build it as a British Coastal Command aircraft however pics seem to be very few and far between.

Can anybody recommend anything please?

Has anyone ever built this aeroplane?

Here's a decal sheet for RAF Liberators - unfortunately, it's out of stock of that site, so you may have to look around.

Murdo,

I am working on this kit now (have been on and off for 2 years). We were looking for the right parts, decals, and paint. After much digging I would suggest looking at belchers bits from Canada and aviaeology (Web site is http://www.aviaeology.com/decalsAOD48.html). This should be a good start and get you going in the direction you have indicated. Good luck!!

Thanks very much guys!

One reason I like this hobby (and this site) so much is that no matter how obscure a thing you want to do people bend over backwards to help out.
