Same kit as the b24j Dragon I built.. The 4-piece fuselage sucks, and the ball turret might throw you some fits. Should build up fine though.. lots of putty! :D
 
I love bombers, 1/72 tho.. 1/48 is huge! For the bomb racks, if you intend to have the open doors, do 2 bombs on each rack as 12 isn't possible. Its weird because it says to put 3 on each one but only 8 bombs are given. :)
 
After his F4U, this will be a walk in the park, even with its tiny scale of 1/72! Better not f*ck this one up Brother, or you'll sleep in the tub/doghouse! :lol:
 
Yea, no sh!t..... The 1/72ns scale is gonna be interesting.... Went through the directions and the biggest issue I can see is with the glassing and canopys.... Theres like no detail inside her and I dont think any of it will be seen....

Gonna see if I can find some shots of other modellers 1/72nd jobs and confirm just how muchdetail can be seen.... Help?
 
Not to side track your thread Dan but thought you might get a kick out of this pictures
