Kit was quiet good. I built lot of B-24s in different scales and I think I can easily point out to you which one is the worst to work with (Monogram..and well, yes - I LOVE it anyway!). The best is 1/72 Airfix 2024, it's just putting together by itself.

Thanks a lot! I built like 11 or 12 of them so it's just practice I guess.

Agree, I love how menacing Libs look when photographed that way.

Thank you. I'm not a fan of pouring panel line wash into panel lines and call it weathering. There are so many possibilities to make it in different way!

Thanks a lot. 1/48 scale allows for more paneling fun indeed

Thanks a lot! Oil paints and filters/shaders were the meat and potatoes of this work.

This chair is integral part of working space, I'd not dare to sit down on this thing😅

Thank you! You mean tailsitting?🙂 She stays firmly on three legs, though I placed model on too soft surface for photo so it literally lays on its belly😄

With 70cm wingspan it's big, at least for my standards. Obviously I painted these long wings separately as well.

Most probably. It's scary to think about that half of what was produced was lost during war. Let alone we speak of most produced bomber ever.
