In this moment I completing all interior and preparing fuselage half's to join together. Strange thing is that kit does not include enough of bombs and part are not look to be good proportioned. So idea to let this section open and used some ground crew for maintenance has drop. Kit will be closed.

Strange indeed with the bombs... Even if I prefer closed aircrafts!

Srecko,

A B-24 usually carried twelve or less 500 pound bombs and the larger number only on short missions. If the kit provides eight, just hang two on each rack, one on the second-from top shackle and one on the second-from bottom shackle and assume they were flying a long-range trip. I have a bomb loading schedule chart somewhere in the attic that shows all of the possible combinations that could be carried.

I can't promise I'll find my loading chart as it might have ended up involved with a friend's estate. Either he or I had it last--I just can't remember.....

This model is looking great, and the interior colors look just right.

To be honest- I will not going to change anything about the bomb inside but if you find anything valuable, please put it here as well this could be good one day for somebody.

Some things need to be removed from the rear fuselage sides so I did this but after that I will need to paint this again. Note also some small details painted on the same metal sheet and this is gunner door, ammunition belt and engine push rods.

Wings completed. Instruction suggest to place engine in nacelle and put them on wings but I will put only nacelle, engine can be mounted at the very end.

Today was house cleaning and in one moment large mattress fall and direct hit cockpit elements and the other sections and kit parts... result- only one gun was crashed from upper turret. So, after recovery from shock this kit is merged!

 :-eek :-eek I'm glad the disaster was averted!

Hey, I just thought of something that is too late to incorporate into your build. On the Minicraft B-24s I've built I added weight into each nacelle just behind the firewall. By using some weight there you don't need as much in the nose. I wish I had thought of this sooner...... :-/ Or, you can always build a tiny ammo box and set it under the tail skid like they did during the war.

Sorry I didn't think of this sooner,
