MGunns Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Looking forward to your corrections. That being written. I do see the difference between the kit and the WB engines, but to me, and my opinion only I don't see enough difference to make corrections to the correction engine. With the same amount of effort appied to the kit engines as the WB engine, to me a satisfactory engine can be produced. 2

CrankyCrafstman Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Hey guys This would make a great display diorama for the B-24J 1
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 I also found a fix for the front turret issue 4
GusMac Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Great picture, although you do think, 'How???....' 1
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Must have took a really hard bounce and the nosed in?? 1

My focus is the nose and tail turrets, wheels, landing gear and possibly the airfoil. I might can live with that. Got the brass inserts on the way for the LG! 2
Bomber_County Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Was reading my copy of Aeodata B24 Early Models book, apparently the trim tab on the starboard aileron was a) only on the starboard wing and b) was enlarged on some models.........they do show a Ford built general arrangement plan....... thought maybe of interest... 1
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Airscale has the B-24J instrument panel done so order yours today before they are all gone. It's really beautiful Peter keep up the good work. Ron G 3

CrankyCrafstman Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Oh, well I ordered a set anyway wanted to be one of the first in line. 1

CrankyCrafstman Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Thats cool Nige, I started doing some preliminary work on the B-24. I assembled the starboard wing with Tamiya tape to see what needs to be fixed. The rear of the engine nacelles edge is pretty thick about 1.5mm. So I took my Fordom tool and ground it down to look like the edge of sheet metal its supposed to be. I also ground out the inner nacelle where the main landing gear goes through so that the edges look like sheet metal. I'll take some pics when I get back to my work bench so you can see what I'm talking about. I'm not going to do what Iain(32sig) on LSP is doing to the wings, I'll live with what came in the kit. Ron G 1
MGunns Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I was wondering when Airscale was going to come out with this for the B-24. I just ordered mine. Looking forward to seeing how your trailing edge and landing gear nacelle turn out. 1
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Hey Gunns I'll try to get some pictures posted tomorrow. Ron G 1
NigelR32 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I've just had a thought guys.. regarding the nose turret seam. If you grind away the clear plastic to remove the alignment pins and lugs, then thin the plastic to within an inch of it's life, will the seam become less visible? 1
MGunns Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 It would be a lot of grinding and the results could be catastrophic...…….."Just a little more here …………………...oh...………_ _ it! 1
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 a little birdie told me that Hobby Boss is going start distribution of replacement ( corrected ) front turrets via. local/national wholesale suppliers within a month. It was a direct response of HB customer service to an inquiry from a customer in Czech Republic. 2
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Hey Martinnfb Just how do you go about getting these replacements? 1
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 From what I understand , he contacted HB directly. 1
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 So you have to contact HB directly yourself? 1
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Everyone who purchased this kit should have done it long ago. Squeaky wheel gets the grease 1
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 http://www.hobbyboss.com/index.php?g=home&m=page&a=index&id=132&l=en 2
CrankyCrafstman Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 So your supposed to fill out a feedback report and hope you receive some kind of answer? Doesn't sound like a real fix to me. 1
