PB-24L-10-FO LIL' BLON-DEE

Mocked-up with slip fit of the "half S" curve the I introduced into the Liberator lexicon in 2000. It replaced the S-curve at Block L-1--FO. I narrowed the academy A-15 Emerson by sanding the middle seams of both parts and lowered the profile by removing the raised mounting cam.

Moving along. mostly clear, home made parts and final assembly. working seams which are worn out on the 50 year old molds. Factory decals and insignia, guns and electronic will be last.

Mock-up of homemade lower nose vacuformed L series clear panels. some triming and glazing for trapazoidal bomb scan windows is in progress.

Working on the clear, homemade parts, always the tricky part of WWII multi-engine warplanes.
Added weight to flt eng deck but now the belly radar had to be counterbalanced to get CG adjusted.
