PB4Y-1 Liberator. Well it's finally together. First model I have put together in 15 plus years. The most work I've ever done on one too. Still have some more work I want to do. It's plenty ugly. Any more work I do won't change that either. LOL I HATE the look of the top turret. not at all accurate looking. Looks like a nose turret on top. Some pieces were a little warped as well so the tail is a bit crooked. Also it must have been designed to be hung up as the ball turret hits the ground so the landing gear only touch on one side at it's tippy. Can't complain for a 10 plus year old model. probably 30 plus year old. Comments welcome.
The Renault 16 is a car with an at first unusual hatchback body, produced by French automaker Renault between 1965 and 1980 in Le Havre, France. The reviewer in the May 1965 edition of the English "Motoring Illustrated" described the car as follows: "The Renault Sixteen can thus be described as a large family car but one that is neither a four door saloon and nor is it quite an estate. But, importantly, it is a little different."
The R16 was voted European Car of the Year by a board of European motoring journalists in 1966. Over 1,845,959 R16s were produced during the model's lifetime.
Series production started in March 1965 at the company's recently completed Sandouville plant, a few kilometers to the east of Le Havre.The car sold well in most of Europe, winning praise for its spacious and comfortable interior. Equipment levels were also high for the price.
Production of the Renault 16 lasted until 1980 when it was finally replaced by the less successful Renault 20. Even by this stage, when it was nearly 15 years old, the Renault 16 was still one of the most popular and highly rated family cars on sale in Europe.
By the time the Renault 16 ceased production most other European manufacturers had at least one hatchback on sale. At the time Renault had six hatchbacks on sale, the R4, R5, R6, R14, R20 and R30.
One peculiarity of the R16 design is that the two back wheel shafts were not in-line. The left wheelbase was 70 mm (2.76 in) longer than the right wheelbase, to accommodate the torsion bar suspension.
When the Renault 16 was launched, rumours of industrial espionage on Citroen's project F abounded but were unproved.

1961 erteilte der damalige Leiter von Renault, Pierre Dreyfus, den Auftrag zur Entwicklung eines neuen, familientauglichen Fahrzeuges. Gaston Juchet entwarf daraufhin das Design des R16. Das Resultat war eine Mischform aus Stufenheckkarosserie und Kombi.
Ab dem 2. Dezember 1964 wurde die Nullserie gefertigt, im Januar 1965 begann die Serienproduktion. Er gilt als das erste Fahrzeug mit einer Schrägheckkarosserie in der oberen Mittelklasse und wurde in einem neu gebauten Werk in Sandouville bei Le Havre produziert. 1965 wurde der R16 zum Auto des Jahres 1966 gewählt. Die Bauweise von Frontmotor und Frontantrieb in Verbindung mit einem Schrägheck wurde später in der Autokompaktklasse zum Standard, aber auch in der Mittelklasse und der gehobenen Mittelklasse gibt es hierfür ebenfalls Beispiele.
Von 1973 an wurde der Renault 16 in einer TX-Variante mit 93 PS angeboten, der sich äußerlich durch Doppelscheinwerfer von den übrigen Modellversionen unterschied. 1974 wich der Aluminiumgrill bei einer weiteren Überarbeitung einem aus Plastik.
Der Motor war längs hinter der Vorderachse (wie auch beim R4 und seit 1934 bei den großen Citroënmodellen 7, 11 und 15CV) angeordnet. Der R16 wurde ausschließlich als Fünftürer angeboten.
