It’s a reissue of the tried and true Academy kit. It’s a nice model.

@lis, Eduard high price, yes, but you must consider the aftermarket additions that Eduard likely adds to their special boxing of other company's kits.

On the other hand, typically Italeri reboxes other's kits with improved decal selection and quality, though there are exceptions. Sometimes these kits will cost less than an old boxing of the same kit with extra decals, and other times they will come at a cost premium, considering sometimes their reboxings are much older, antiquated kits.

@brummbaer thank you for your comments. I think I even want to build two Liberators. one asegawa and the other academy and compare. It would be very informative.

While waiting for the shipment needed to open a new project, I decided to paint the Airfix figures of the pilots. I thought to myself that you could supplement Liberator's copy with them. What do you think about it?

Looks really great, Lis @lis
Very nice paintwork.

What a great arrival, my friend @lis!

@johnb It will be unique scheme but in SAAF markings 🙂 I have two options from 31 SAAF squadron. I purchase decals from Perth in Australia 🙂
