Yeah the D is already out it's a shame that it's just a repop of the old moulds, no PE or resin. The J was supposed to of been out by now but it's not. Maybe they are going to offer different builds i.e. Ford built etc with the option for the Emerson or other turret or even a Boulton turret for...

Nah sorry mate, I've got another 41 to build, all I need now is the space to put them all when I'm done :D I might just change to 1/72 once I've go this build done and the others out.

There are loads on E-Bay, I've now got 4 x J's and 2 x D's in the stash. I'm in the process of grinding out the "D"'s interior (along with building a Mossie and some other things ;) )

Tell him we said nice job, sheesh he does a good job on those panel lines and seams.

What's the difference between the Pro-Modeller HE-111 and the Monogram one? I posted my built Monogram one here and I'm interested in the difference. How much do they go for these days, I paid $18 NZ (which is about 6 pounds for mine, 2nd hand without a box but everything else was there).

Hi Djos, nice looking Spits and welcome to the forums from the Colonies.

I've been using them on and off for years. Most of my tins are 10-15 years old but still mix and apply well. I rarely hand paint with them but I airbrush with them a lot. I find it's just a case of knowing what ratio of thinners to use. Talking of which you haven't changed your thinners or...

Looks like an interesting read, nice artwork Piet, how and who did it? I may be in the market for some profiles myself, so I need to source a way of doing or getting them done.

B-24 Liberator transport conversion (come on what else was I going to say :D ) But seriously I have to go with what everyone else is saying Dak all the way, hell they are still in operation in some countries, how many other aircraft have that kind of logevity?

:salute:

For a kit that's nearly as old as me you've sure done a good job on it. I love those old Monogram kits myself, they were light years ahead of the others at the time. She looks great and the battle damage looks just right, well worth hanging on to.

About 8 years ago I paid about 300 pounds for a full set of 8 manuals for a B-24 all in mint condition. It cost almost as much to ship them from the States lol

I'm a bloke it's well known we don't read instructions!! :D

I've just been told it's actually a splice from a real plane over a model, done in CS4 by a studio. I'd love to know 100% either way.

Depends what Airforce you are talking about. The Commonwealth squadrons used them at much lower levels so the ceiling didn't matter. I must say I've never heard of a B-17 that had as high an altitude as a MKVI Liberator, unless you are talking about the early Libs? Anyone else getting Dejavu here?
