Liberty Ships

Hi, what is the best liberty ship kit on the market, either world war 1 or 2? Also is the Trumpeter O’Brien a good kit and how big is it.?

The Trumpeter kit is about 15" long. It’s a good kit but with certain reservations - look up previous posts from the last few weeks.

This is my current project “mocked up” for display recently, with extra parts and deck cargo from Tom’s Modelworks.

There’s no such thing as a World War One Liberty.

I don’t know about the best, but I like this one…

1/700 scale AK-99 BOOTES from Skywave. You’ll find it around $25.00.[2c]

Which kit and what scale is that, MJHowe?

Mfsob;

That’s the Trumpeter 1:350 Liberty “Jeremiah O’Brien” kit. Some PE brass bits and white-metal vehicles from Tom’s added. Lot of work still to go.

Regards;
