Yep, that GR VI is a neat paint scheme. The Collings Foundation Liberator started life as GR VI KH188 and later served the Indian Air Force for many years as T-18. The RAF Liberators haven't ever gotten sufficient press as far as I'm concerned. They served in various roles for almost the entire war.

Yes, and the Liberator served in the antisubmarine role for the entire time the RAF and Coastal Command had them, not to mention the USAAF and Navy ASW units.

Cockpit and engine elements created. There is also separate layers with wings, verticals and engine shapes but they are invisible.
