Phenominal stuff guys, appreciate the pics, keep em comin...

I know you're not going overboard on the interior Dan, but do you need any interior shots, especially the waist gun positions and cockpit? Got some if you do.

 

[lesofprimus]

Throw whatever u got into the pot Terry, we'll see what comes out of it my man...

 

[Airframes]

OK, I'll get them posted tonight (UK time).

B-24 damage Dan and one showing stains on the top of the wing, will keep looking

 

[Vic Balshaw]

'Wow' guys theirs some dam fine detail here, you'll have to get your act into gear now Dan.

 

[Wayne Little]

No excuses now!...

 

[Airframes]

Here you go Dan, some interior shots. These are from, I think, 'Aeroplane' magazine a few years ago, and are the Collings Foundation B24J. The details are mostly the same as the 'D', or as near as required for 1/72nd scale. I'll see what else I can find in the way of exterior detail shots for the 'D' model.

Bravo Terry!!! Very nice! I love em! I'm sure Dan will too!

Oh Dan, ouch, I can feel that myself, lay low mate and keep the hot pack up. A tab or two of Valium usually helps me recover.

 

[Airframes]

Sh** man! Hope you recover quick mate - not nice when you have a spasm like that. I'd send you some Czech 'T' Stoff, but it can't be sent Air Mail. Might not cure the pain, but it would certainly dull the senses!!

 

[Micdrow]

Damn Dan, sorry to hear that, could be part of the weather. Its starting to get very cold here as winter is fast approaching. I know my knee is feeling it.

 

[Micdrow]

Maybe these will cheer you up. Some more color B-24's

 

[Airframes]

Great pics Paul! I've seen the middle one before, of the training unit, but not the other two. The last one is interesting, with two 'Mickey' ships, from different BG's out of the UK. Also shows the effect of the British so-called climate on the weathering of the bare metal.

 

[Micdrow]

Couple of more, though not your model and not all are from the dessert including some of those above it does gives you some ideas on weathering.
