Just wanted to share some pictures of a scale Liberator pistol I’m scratch building. My cousin visited France and saw one in a museum, which started me thinking about making one. There were over a million of these dropped into France during WWII.
I’ve used 9mm ID aluminium tube sleeved inside a 12mm ID tube for the barrel. The centre of the body is 9mm MDF, sandwiched between 4.75mm MDF. The cast block at the end is carved 25mm MDF, sealed and primed, then stippled with Tamiya filler to simulate the sand cast finish. There are a few brass pins and a styrene trigger guard.
Will post a few more pictures when it’s finished, plus I have made a replica Sten Mk2 which is nearly completed. Will post pics when that is finished.
Thanks for looking. Nick
