Official FlightLine RC 2000mm B-24D/J Liberator Thread

Hello,

Yea I am going to repaint the plane in the Lady B good colors and art work.....so most of all of this has to come off OR paint over. I just didnt know if anyone has done this before?

[Elbee]

Mike Dunn

Yes, been done before and I've repainted and modded every Freewing and Flightline model I have built.

Seriously, if you've not watched The RC Geek's build videos, those are great instruction "how to do...."

Best, LB

Exceptional Hangar!!

[Elbee]

I thank you, good Sir. You've been there throughout, Brother.

A few shots of my Flightline B-24 in the air at the John Morgan Electric Funfly in St George, UT.

Hey, does anybody know what this part is supposed to be for? It is file number 2 of the 3d models. Is it a gun mount for the waist gunners? And, if so, does the gun with the pin on the bottom (file 1) go in it?

Thanks.

Sorry to bump an old post - but I couldn't find where this was answered.

Does anyone know what this 3D Printed part is for?

The only thing I can think of is that it goes maybe on top where the little antenna does - the one that looks like a wheel pant. ...no clue.

Looking forward to getting this B-24. My dad worked on their gunnery systems in North Africa, before they sent him to learn the armament and electronics on the B-29. Then, he was sent to the pacific for LeMay’s final assault on Japan.

I sure wish someone would produce a scale B-29. We’ve got the 17 and 24! Why not the 29??? I’d sure like to to see a comeback of the Avro Lancaster and Grumman A-6, too…

Where can I find the stl files for the 3d printed parts for the 2000mm Flightline B-24 please and thank you. Jeff

Can someone please tell me where I could find the stl files for the Flightline 2000mm B-24, thank you Jeff

AO2,

I've researched this somewhat and have no STL files accompanying the Plastic Parts offered by Motion RC for this aircraft.

It is possible these parts were not offered as STL files like many other detail parts for other models.

I have also searched my STL files for these parts and have found nothing for the B-24.

If you haven't already contacted Motion RC with regard to these parts, I would start there.

The plastic parts bag is not currently in stock, but you could click the Notify Me button and see how that goes.

You could also check out 3DP Repositories like Thingiverse, CGTrader, Cults 3D, and Prusa Printables for any designs related to this model.

Best, LB

They definitely were. but the files were taken down at some point. They had STLs for the gun barrels, turret interiors, bomb sight, and instrument panel if I remember right

I believe that is a waist gun pivot point.

Search my name and I did post the stl files that I have on this forum, if not here anymore I will share them.

P.S.I went and did a search and it was the Spitfire I uploaded, I have the files including the front gear doors but it's too big to put here, 6.44mb and they only allow 1.91.
I can email to those if they like.

[RRHandy]

I have the files, the files I shared were the Spitfire. The file zipped is too big to put here 6.44 mb and the site only allows 1.91 mb, I can email if one would like. I tried to see if I could split up but that is out of my wheel house on computer knowledge.

[ao2nelson1205]

Have you read the post by RRHandy directly BEFORE yours?

And I quote:

For those that Fear emails, I posted the files on RCG, Go to my blog and look at all posts and you should find the files.

Ok, I've seen a few posts about PB4Y2s. I really think the Navy Liberator is a beautiful plane. I'd love to see Freewing produce a conversion kit.

Brett,

Welcome to Hobby Squawk; glad to have you onboard, Sir.

Is that your model?

If so, very nicely done.

Best, LB

[BrettOgletree]

Yes sir. That's my grandathers plane, Redwing. I've always thought the navy liberator was more elegant but I'm probably biased. I lengthened the fuselage 5", used the B24 horizontal stab as a base to stay close to the correct incidence, and fabbed up the vertical. Nose turret is a clear Christmas ornament and the blisters, while not correct, came from a PBY5. I also had to Frankenstein two canopies to get the upper turrets right. I didn't rotate the nacelles, but did delete the superchargers. I hope to build a better looking version later. This was proof of concept.

[Elbee]

BrettOgletree,

Bravo Zulu.
