Honeybee Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi Franta Have you considered upping them to 48th scale. I have a 48th Fonderie Miniature Halifax finished except for the Jane noseart and that's on the 72nd scale sheet. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Paul, Due to great interest of the sheet 100 Group is ordered a reprint of a sheet 1/72, along with new sheet 1/48. I'm very happy to hear that the 100 Group sheet has been very popular. Perhaps sheets that depict aircraft from other RAF groups (1, 2.... 5,6) etc. might also be winners as well? Cheers... Dave.

brewerjerry Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Paul, Due to great interest of the sheet 100 Group is ordered a reprint of a sheet 1/72, along with new sheet 1/48. Hi It might be better for sales ... to remove the stirlings from the 1:48 sheet and replace them with B-17's, or maybe even a beaufighter, or another mosquito. As far as i know there is only one 1:48 stirling and it is a vacuform which many dont build vacuforms anymore Cheers Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-21 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Hi Franta, Love the 100 Group sheet. How about a 100 Grp Mossie sheet for 85 & 157 Sqdns. Also No.8 Group Pathfinders, 35 Sqdn Halifax,582 Sqdn Lancasters and 105 & 109 Sqdn Mossies. Fabulous stuff, niche market.

Graham Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi Franta Any chance of scaling up the B-17 F's to 1/32nd when the HK model comes out? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kufr1973 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi all:) To Honeybee: Jane is the clear choice ... To T-21: Good guess To Graham: In 1/32 scale I not plan anything yet, but who knows ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamwriter Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi guys, I´m interested in building a Coastal Command Liberator. I tried to get Hasegawa´s Liberator B-24J Coastal Command Limited Edition but it´s just to hard to find and expensive. I have the Jolly Rogers one. Can someone tell me if I can build accurately OOB one of the B-24´s pictured in the B-24 RAF or 311 Sqn sheets from DK Decals? I want to build one with the Extra Dark Sea Grey/Dark Slate Gray upperside camouflage and White fuselage and underside. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Bunker Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 If you want to do a Coastal Command Liberator there are some on Xtradecal sheet X72188 here: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72188 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Be careful what you wish for. "Accurate OOB".....oh dear. Not because the kit is inaccurate, in itself, but because of the sheer variety of these noses. The book "Consolidated Mess" from MMP covers all the variations seen on production nose-turret B-24s, and the RAF serials can be used to find just which of the varied shapes should be applied. Or, indeed, which one is represented by the kit. The Coastal Command boxing of the kit contains the same plastic as the standard kit. The subject has been discussed in some depth on this board, so it may be worth your while digging out earlier threads, but I'm pretty sure this won't run to a detailed cross-checking of which transfer offering requires which amount of work. To be honest, if you aren't interested enough to buy the book you might as well just make the kit with whatever transfers you like, and save the aggro.

dreamwriter Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi Graham, thanks for your reply. I want the one with the animal mouth on the nose: http://www.dkdecals.cz/B24_RAF_navod.jpg but I don´t know if the standard Hasegawa B-24J kit has all the pieces to build that one. The only aftermarket I want to add is the PE set for the cockpit and eventually the dorsal radar if that particular B-24J carried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Hasegawa B-24J kit contains both style of front turret afaik so unless there is some subtlety regading B-24s that escapes me in this case I think you'd be OK with this kit. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 RCAF 3742 was a B-24J-100-CF, with the Emerson nose turret and the H2S ventral radome. Outward-opening nose doors and a thin flush vertical window on the fuselage side behind the astrodome. I don't know exactly how this compares to the kit but it wouldn't seem to be a difficult proposition. The key point may be the bottom line of the nose and the kink to the transparency. Stevehnz: Some subtlety regarding B-24 noses? Oh yes, lots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwriter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks Graham. So, to build 3742 I also have to buy the the ventral radome not included in the kit. Freightdog has a resin one, but for the Halifax.Would that one do the trick? And I just remembered that two years ago I built a Coastal Command Halifax from Matchbox that had the radome in the box but I didn´t use it.

Graham Boak Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 No, afraid not. Strictly not H2S but H2X. (Or for CC actually ASV Mk.whatever - but the same gubbins.) It is a cylindrical shape with a hemispherical bottom, at least approximately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
