In that case it is safe to stay with black, Bernard @lis

If you use the decals from the kit, it is difficult to make the tail in the black and yellow version, as the manufacturer has already prepared it in the OD color, and in addition, the aircraft number is also a part of the decal.

How about painting the vertical stabilizer instead of using the decal, Bernard @lis

This is a tricky situation, my friend @lis...🤔
capt. R said 4 months, 2 weeks ago:

Only way paint by airbrush and use aftermarket ID number letters.

After very long trip I revived parcel from USA. Very rare kit with nice decals.

Yes, painting with airbrush and using aftermarket codes will do, my friend @lis. Great Liberator kit!

@fiveten I think decals from kit are usable.

Decals indeed look to be in good condition, my friend @lis.

Seems like a nice kit, Bernard @lis
Decals do look to be in good shape.

That sounds good, my friend @lis!

It surely looks odd, Bernard @lis
My knowledge is not that good on Liberators.

@johnb
This is picture of B-24 M model from Ford with enlarged side windows in the bombardier's compartment, but bombardier window are the same in earlier H Ford Moels. Has the shape of a truncated trapezoid. It is usually triangular in shape from the side in B-24 CO or another manufacture..
