Just a note, that picture on the box cover is wrong, the kit has 2 small rectangular windows in the nose like in the decal illustration above. That large window on the right side of the box art does NOT exist. It was not molded in this kit so it looks more like an H than an L.

Not all H models were the same....see images below. The only ones I have seen with the large picture window so far were British ones, no clue why. And I was noting that that window was NOT on the plane I was building, I DID NOT say all did not have it!!!

Ok .....I'm no expert and no idea what model liberator is what. Just posted the link to show at least one liberator existed with that observation window.
