As far as I know Tony.. the B MKIII didn't have a top turret so I guess unless anyone proves otherwise.. the answer would be no it shouldn't :)

He certainly wouldn't care for the reversed texture map on the RH side either :lol:

As far as I can tell mate.. the B MkIIIA's were basically B24D's on lend-lease and I can't find a phot of one of these with an upper fuse turret so you couldn't pretend it was a MkIIIA either. :worried: Certainly can't find a MkIII with a top turret :cpu:

Tony, I found this link which would suggest the upper dorsal turret is correct mate..

Y E S.. the word vile springs to mind :lol:

Darned odd aircraft was the Liberator. I think more examples were made than just about any other aircraft of the day and it could fly further than anything known to mankind :o An interesting subject and no mistakin' ;-)
