Hi Guys, welcome back.
This is a full video build of Eduard's excellent re-box of Hasegawa's Liberator in 1/72 scale. The kit is tricky to find nowadays which is a shame because it contains quite a few RAF Coastal Command schemes.
My chosen scheme is BZ832 of 200 Squadron. In this particular aircraft, New Zealander F/O Lloyd Trigg won his and the squadrons only Victoria Cross, the most famous medal in the British and Commonwealth military..

A story of a pilot and crew who, in the face of adversity, continued to do what they were trained to do and paid the price with their lives. You've done them a justice and produced an excellent tribute to their gallantry via this superbly presented model. Super work, Tim!

@TimsScaleModelling 2 года назад

Thank you very much Robbo…

@seanmcfarlane294 2 года назад

As a Kiwi it is nice to see this build. Grew up with the story of Trigg's VC being one of only 2 or 3 based entirely on accounts of the ememy. Recommended by the U-boat captain, and supported by the evidence of the U-boat crew. A nice build Tim.

My old man used to fly in these in 1945 as W/op and SE operator. BZ811, BZ806, BZ813 amongst others. Flew the Atlantic from Dorval to Manipur in KL473 Always been my favourite. Very nice build.

I think it would be a good future trend to replace the standard plastic landing gear on such high-end kits with metal landing gears, especially for models with a nose landing gear, which usually requires additional weight in the fuselage. Or to offerat least a cheaper kit variant with plastic parts and a more expensive one for ambitioned modellers. From my own experience I know that a broken landing gear is almost impossible to repair...

@TimsScaleModelling Год назад

That’s a decent idea, the kit is quite heavy as you always overloads the weight to avoid tail sitting.

@simonloxton4246 2 года назад

Nicely done, it was great to hear the story behind the plane, thanks.

@TimsScaleModelling 2 года назад

Thanks Simon, that narrative is something I’d like to do more of, even if it was a little shaky..

@ralphford4302 2 года назад

Nice work Tim. Excellent choice of not over-weathering. Much more realistic at scale with the way you approached it

@TimsScaleModelling 2 года назад

Yeah I like my stuff to be more about the subject than the technique. Cheers Ralph

@TimsScaleModelling 2 года назад

Thanks ole Baghead… I’m sure the rest of his crew were eager to press home the attack, especially the rear gunner 🔥

@Sandermaner 2 года назад

More like eternally stupid and dead. I’m sure the captain who killed his crew with a foolhardy attack deserved to receive his wonderful medal posthumously. What did his crew get other than dead?

The captain of HMS Glow worm was awarded the VC after the war due to the testimony of the Captain of the German cruiser Admiral Hipper after the Glow worm's attack on it in 1940.

@PeteCourtier 2 года назад

Testimonies from the enemy are rare but another stands out. HMS Glowworm is one instance. The destroyer sighted the German cruiser Hipper and attacked. After sustaining heavy damage she rammed the cruiser and inflicted serious damage. The German captain through diplomatic channels recommended the VC to Glowworm captain Lieutenant Commander Broadmead Roope. He received it posthumously. Anyway, I digress 😂 That’s a superb build. The finish is fantastic 👍🍺 A fine tribute.
