Enjoy indeed. Lovely build Malgar. very nicely finished to. Must be quite a beast in 1:48 scale, thanks for sharing.

Excellent B-24 Maglar, as Fenlander points out this must be one big bird.

I have been up close and run my hands along one of these in the Duxford USAAF Museum here in the U.K. It is one impressive machine.

Once again, congrats. on a nice job.

Nice work Malgar, you must be proud of your B-24 as she is beautiful. And i hope you have somewhere to put it with it being so big, i build 1:48 scale armour and i'm running out of space lol.

Have fun, John

1/48th Fightin Sam

Looks fantastic. I am about to attempt it also. I am adding the sperry ball turret ot my kit. The later D's had the ball and many were retrofitted in the field. My friends father was a top turret gunner on a B-24D, 15th AF, Italy, 1943-44.

Thanks all!.. Yes she is big, I am working on a dio for it given the tow tractor and figures. When I complete that I will be sure to add the pictures to here.

Very interesting Sandman.. I did see the sperry turret 'outline' on my kite knowing that later versions and such carried it. The overall kit was nice for the price but the fitting of the clear parts was terrible, lots of PVA and the similar.

John, I know what you mean about space.. :sobbing:

I hope mine looks as good as that when I get round to it, though I'd be happy if it ends up half as good!

Hi Maglar

Me again "Triumph" been following your build on another forum. Great job m8ty but hope you dont mind pointing out one thing you have done is the same as me on my build. That is to leave front wheel doors showing outwards. On theses Libs they opened inwards. Quick fix as I did it to mine. Cheers Peter
