B-24J liberator pacific raider

[michelle]

this is the 1/92 scale Atlantis models B-24J pacific raider kit
it was a very nice e and simple to assemble kit those not balanced with the landing gear I had to glue some small pieces of metal inside the nose in front of the front landing gear to make it more front heavy so the front wheel would be on in contact with whatever surface I set the model on as it was more back heavy and would rest on the bottom gun turret and wing mounted landing gear over the nose landing gear and wing landing gear I was surprised there was no base for in flight display even though it came with the ball attachment for a base that could be glued to a optional slot on the bottom of the fuselage

i got this kit the other day at ollies  it was 12.99

Very nice-looking Liberator. Years ago when I dabbled in model planes, many of the instruction sheets would mention adding weight to the nose section to keep it on the ground. Many suggested using modeling putty.

thank you  i only recently started to add military aircraft to my model building lineup but i stick to ww2 era planes mostly medium and large bombers over fighter planes and i am sticking to the smaller scales as they do not take up that much shelf space

Looks nice.  I used to have one a long time ago.  My step-mom broke it I may still have it in a box somewhere.  A lot of my early attempts at air craft builds were broken by her.
