I just purchased a B-24 last week. I look forward to seeing what a skilled modeler like you will do to it.

My seat is firmly in place, popcorn in hand. Lets ROCK....

Finding the motivation for models sometimes is surprisingly tough - I've recenly boxed a model for finishing some months later maybe

Plus with time constraints no rush/worries man

Take your time eh

No problems Dan, there's still two months left. A relatively 'small' kit like that should be no problem to you now mate!

Thanks Paul.... I need to see some real shots of B-24's in the desert conditions that they served in, see how beat up they really are......

All the kits Ive seen of Strawberry Bitch are clean looking crates, and I know that in actual combat enviornment they were the exact opposite....

Also need some close up shots of her motors and extreriors during combat OPs.... I may try to model her after recieving damage and landing back at Benghazi.... Maybe some damage pics as well for realism??

These any use Dan? It's a B24J, but most of the details are the same. I took them at Duxford last month - just in case!
