Booby Trap was a Liberator I first heard about from my father over 25 years ago. He first saw it when he was with 490th Bomb Group, 8th Air Force in June of 1944 and then when he was transferred to the 484th Bomb Group, 15th Air Force in Italy. I went all out with this one to honor my father who flew 13 combat missions in these aircraft.

Well done Glenn.
 
From the home made decal to the fine masking and over-all paint work, It looks great!
 
Thanks for the wonderful comments guys, I really appreciate it
 
Just saw this, Glenn. Really nice job.... I especially like the exhaust stains on the wings.
