Holy moly  , I hope you have got enough room for this one Ian  . It sure is going to be a big one  . Nice info on the colouring sector, something I didn't know.... but I don't much anyway  .

Obviously I love the Lancaster and Halifax being a Brit, but the B24 has to be the finest looking US bomber of all time  Looking forward to this one!

Thanks, guys. I agree, Steve, as the B-24, Lanc and Halifax have always been my favorites in the multi-engine "heavies" category.

One issue with the Monogram B-24 is the seam in both the nose and rear turrets, which runs up and down where there is no panel line. Impossible to fill so rather than going through the obstacle, I will cheat and go around the obstacle by doing this, which was not uncommon in the hot sun in the Med.

Looking forward to seeing this progress Ian. I remember seeing a film at school about The Lady be Good. I bought the Airfix Liberator the following weekend.

Thanks guys! Still piecing together more info about SAAF Liberators. Just found out they did not carry the ball turret so that will be faired over. Also discovered they did not carry the standard orange SAAF Roundels but had red RAF Roundels instead but did have the orange SAAF fin flash.
