I am amazed by your ability to work in that scale.

[Mossie]

I do like that French Libby.

   thanks!!!!

[Brian da Basher]

I think your paintwork in this scale is amazing! The French B-24 is especially nice in that whiffy night bomber scheme!

Hi Brian
the basis of camouflage scheme is typical French aircraft of 1940. Brown is perhaps more dark... The LB30 have never arrived in France, have they been delivered with Curtiss H75 and other planes in England?

[NARSES2]

I to like that Liberator and as said they were on order

[oliv30330]

the RAF has used the LB30 or B24A?

[Mossie]

Yes, they took several of the original USAAC order for the B-24A & heavily modified most of them.  It was generally considered unfit for combat duties, but they saw it's potential & received large numbers of other variants.  There's even a Wikipedia page specific to the Mk.I variant:
