              Hi there; 

              This is my first submission and hope everybody likes it. If it is possible, could you post it on 1st of June for the 100. Anniversary of the Turkish Air Force.  

              Thanks a lot...

              After famous Poliesti Air Raid’s, 11 B-24’s made emergency landings to Turkey and interned together with their crew. Later 5 of them were recovered and joined the TuAF as heavy bombers (with thanks to Tayyareci).

              This kit was a challenge from the beginnig till the end. I re-scribe all the pannels. Used Mr.Hobby Interior Color Set’s, Zinc Chromatte Yellow as both base color and interior color, according to the references which I found. On the other hand, for cookpit,  I’used Interior Green. For pre-shade I choose Vallejo’s Natural Black. And finally for outside  colors, Model Master’s enamel Green and Humbrols enemal grey used.

              Nearly in all building steps some problems occured. Clear parts has marks and dealed with compound and future. Plastic quality was also terrible and there were serious connection problems especially at nose and at bombing bay sections. So I had to  re-build bay doors from Evergreen styrene sheet. Also front wheel doors were wrong for early Liberators and had to be modified. 

              For weathering and washing, I used Mig Pigments, Mig’s Brown and Dark Washes and Tamia sets. Also for paint chipping in interior parts, I choose one fibre brush. For Turkish markings, get help from Babibi Decals. 

              Hope you’ll like it....
