LOLOLOLOL! Terry, I can wait for you so we can do a duel? I really need to finish the bust anyway before I turn my bench into a very messy one for next two months or so. Do you think I should order cockpit upgrade set too? I am still undecided at this moment. Hey I can pull the trigger whenever you're ready! I have a few more things to aquire.....engines.......nose interior......IP and seatbelts... There is a lot of glass up there.....seat belts for sure...maybe a new IP. |

I thought so... I will take a good look at the kit over the weekend. The interior uprooted is $30 alone... jeez!

Andy, you can get good deal for P.E for whole details for this kit, it called Big Ed, including interior, bomber door, rear gunner etc about 7 details I think. The cost is hundred buck instead of individual P.E. But it worth? I can't predict how much we can view the interior details? No idea about that.

My guess is that on the J at least you aren't going to get a whole lot seen through the main canopy once it's painted up and installed. Now the 'greenhouse' nose on the D is a different story altogether!  Nice to see you getting some goodies in the mail Andy, you've had your annual Florida recharge, time to get cracking!  |

Deaf, if you are going to add all the stuff to the kit, this will be the hell of a build and I wait eagerly for your start. Yes, the HELL OF A BUILD!!

Terry- I am with you... I caved in and placed order for more PE sets today. LOL Details coming up in a minute. Either we will do a duel or we will do a GB if we have enough interest. Thanks buddy for the push! LOL
Aero- I WISH! That's what I wanted to order at first place but it has been discontinued. DANG IT! I looked everywhere even on eBay but no luck. I agree with you it may be cheaper to buy that set than buying five or six different sets separately. I bought three more sets tonight... LOL Appreciate you letting me know... thanks!
Bill- Thanks professor! I took a real good look at the main canopy, I think you are right it will be pretty visible. My wife is not going to be happy when she discover I spent another $65 on that old kit. But she understands... one of biggest drawbacks building an outdated kit.
Leon- And I had to order more tonight! LOLOLOLOL
Frank- Thanks man! First I really need to finish that bust... its like 90% complete. LOL I am afraid B-24 thing will take me a while to build it! LOL
Carl- Believe me it is always great hearing from you my friend. Happy to have you aboard too!

Andy,
I was surprised that you mentioned it discontinued, I checked on website and there is only for B-24D not J... B-24D is still selling and have Big ED for "D". I was tempted to get B-24D but I already got another 7 kits...

Yes, I don't understand why they are still selling for B-24D only but not B-24J. What other 7 kits do you have? Want to do a group build with us? LOL

Geez, deaf not enough, Andy? Now you're trying to go blind, too? That sure is a big mess of PE to be squeezed in that tiny space! |

Does this look cool, LOOK COOL (any idea where I can chance the size of the letters???) OmG, this will be the definite plane. Please please make some pics when you have it all together. I have to go to a corner and cry a bit.
Frank, sniff

That's definitely going to add some weight to the nose...and time to your total build effort Andy! Should be a fun and complex project for sure. Given how old the J kit is it doesn't surprise me that the Eduard mega-set might be OOP. |

That's a huge aircraft! I also am looking for a nice bomber.My dream bomber is the B-52 in 1/48 scale ( i hear Jimmy Hendrix in my head now ). The PE has awesome detail! You go Andy!!! |

Nice progress! PE improves the model a lot.
There are some aftermarket staff for B-24 from Vector company, for ex. wheel's wells.

Guys- This month is the busiest time at work... I will be glad when it will be over in a week or two. Thanks for taking your time to post comments! Four more PE sets arrived last week so I am almost all set. LOL  Now I am thinking about ordering resin propellers set. They look NICE!!! Kit propellers are so ugly...

Duel or GB works for me. Let's Roll! - AWESOME! Let's do the duel... I better get busy and finish the bust then we are good to go! OK? Aero- Buffalo wings? Oh that's my weakness... I grew up in Buffalo, NY did you know that? LOL Carbine Bob- Not yet... soon I will tackle those PE sets! Wish me luck... Todd- I will probably wear sunglasses more for this. See you in few days! You all packed for Auburn I hope!!! AFV Bob- Now you are scaring me... I hope they fit well inside! LOL Frank- I made you cry? Hope not even tho you make me cry every time I look at your work! LOL Bill- I am glad you mentioned about the nose weight!!! I forgot about that part... need to get me some lead balls at local gun shop. The list seems to grow and grow for this build! Carl- I definitely will not do the bomber bay... they do offer PE set for that part and it really SCARES me. No thanks! I will keep the bay closed... bogreen- B-52 in 1/48?!?!? Now you are talking!!! That would be nice... George- Thank for the tip... will check it out! LOL Marc- Still wishing I went for 1/72 instead of 1/48. [Banging my head] |

Do you think I should order cockpit upgrade set too? Well that's a dumb question...  I don't even have to read ahead in the thread to know what the answer to this will be! |
