I’ve heard rumblings of a 1/32 PB4Y-2 Privateer in the works…has anyone heard anything about it?
Haven’t seen anything. But wouldn’t surprise me that one would come out, either in PB4Y or B-24 configuration, now that the 1/32 B-17’s are out.
If it comes, expect pricing to be around the same, and lighten the wallet by a bit.
Hello!
Until then, you can always build a paper model - there’s been a 1:33 Privateer from a Polish company “Fly Model” for years. Here, a Polish modeller poses with his model, to give you an idea about the size:
And here’s the baby itself:
Cool, eh? Have a nice day

I believe Hobby Boss has announced a 1/32 B-24 Liberator, so a plastic base for a Privateer conversion may become available. I’m not sure if HB will do a Privateer, as it would require an entirely new fuselage and engine nacelles. But never say never - they could mold the basic B-24 fuselage in front, mid and rear sections to cater to B-24 variants, then engineer separate engne nacelles to allow a Privateer to be made.
Gosh darn it, 1/32 is the new 1/48 when it comes to WW II heavy bombers!
I would love it if someone would come out with a 1/48 scale Privateer!

That’s a paper model??? Holy Cow.
(and the “Polish modeler” , ahem, is my sales manager’s twin …really spooky)
I would do an endless series of cartwheels if anyone would come out with ANY new Privateer.[:D[
so would I!
So no one is interested in my old Matchbox kit???
