Eduard has posted an interesting article illustrating the work that has gone into creating the 1/72 scale Liberator GR Mk.III and GR Mk.V of Coastal Command
”As you know, our upcoming WWII four-engine bomber aircraft kit, the Liberator GR Mk.III and GR Mk.V „Riders in the Sky“, in 1/72 scale also include two unique sprues designed by Eduard, with parts needed for conversion from B-24 to Liberator GR Mk.III and GR Mk.V.
You can see all the conversion parts we made for this kit in the following photo-gallery.

●A-6A rear turret Consolidated 5800-3
●Boulton-Paul Type E Mk.II rear turret early type/ late type
●Dumbo chin radome
●Waist gunners windows (Nash and Thompson Type FN55 mount)
●Leigh Light
●Rocket projectors with unguided rocket projectiles
●Hamilton Standard Hydromatic propellers with narrow blades

The photographic book, which tells the story of Coastal Command Liberators GR Mk.III & GR Mk.V, with a special focus on No. 311 Squadron RAF, will be also a part of the kit. This Limited Edition kit will be available at the Eduard Store from March 1, 2018 under cat. no. 2121.”

Well Hannants have this listed at £107, as much as I want this at that price they can keep it. Even if I factor in my BFC discount it’s still to rich for me for a 1/72 scale kit.
