I also normaly use the technique that Terry says.
In my B-25 "Shark Mouth" I used another technique to make the stripes on the bombs, for the first time. In post # 721 of my S.to F. Section you can see it, it's not complicated and you could try it. (I did not know how to send you the link or access so you can go directly -for lack of time-)
I hope it will be useful too.

... It worked!! It was very simple Today I learned something new and very practical. Thanks again George.
And I hope it's another option for your bombs, Don.
Well I think we all learned something, thanks Geo and all for the great inputs. Dry fitting and fitting it is. The wing (so to say "box") fits through the fuselage and into the otherside, creating if you will the bomb bay ceiling this is, I'm sure sturdy for the kit and adds, such as it is a ceiling. I am going to try and add the ceiling as it is. Unlike the B-29, the nature of the B-24 , leaves no room to hide nose weight and the B-24 is a tail heavy aircraft. This can be noted in that even Colling Foundation uses a jack under the tail skid when it's on the ground.
I understand what follows, Don, so that your Lib stays upright. I already went through this with mine and thanks to the support and suggestions of colleagues in the forum, I went ahead with a satisfactory result.
So I figured I'd try and put a ceiling in the weapons bay. Pulled some cardstock and used the fore and aft weapons bay bulkheads for measurement and that wasn't too bad.
Well I thought I might be able to add some nose weight behind the nose wheel. I stuffed in about 10 oz and she still sets on her tail. I'll do without any weight and try a different method. Thinking of drilling a small hole in the nose tire and screwing it to a base plate.
