GRIM REAPER Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Wait. What??? Kind of seems way left field for them to release a B-24 in 1/32. One would think that HK would release one first since they already have the B-25 and the upcoming Lancaster. But excited nonetheless. Still waiting on a 1/32 A-26 Invader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of mandate spread in the chinese companies, hobbyboss were established to make easybuild stuff and hk to do outsized stuff, now hobbyboss make regular kits and outsized stuff , maybe hk's 1/32nd b-17 sold that well that the other companies are following their trend .

28ZComeback Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Not to quibble but a nicely-done 1/48th B-24 would be appreciated. The mighty Monogram kit has seen its day in the sun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mighty Monogram kit has seen its day in the sun. Totally agree; realistically, how many 1/32 kits will sell? Not a huge amount as even in 1/48th it requires a lot of real estate to display it. I consider myself lucky enough to live in good size housing, but struggle to find space anywhere for even the 1/48th version, let alone a display cabinet that would be required to keep the dust and prying fingers off. of course, on the plus side if they do to these kits what they did to their 1/32nd A-6 models, a 1/48th scaledown might be on the horizon Cheers Les 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B-24 will sell, but how many will actually get built as opposed to sitting in a stash is a different matter. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george tenediotis Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'ts a very welcome addition, I'm puzzled by the box art of the 'D' variant though, I think the actual aircraft, B-24D "WONGO WONGO" from 512 Bomb. Sqn, took part in the "tidal wave' operation -bombardment of the Ploesti refineries on Aug. 1st, 1943- but never made it actually there as it crashed en route to the target, so perhaps the box art is a little speculative .... let's hope the speculation stays in the packaging !

Giorgos I suppose it depends on whether you want to just build a replica of a B-24D and 'Wongo Wongo' is the kit in the box, or whether you want to do a diorama of the Ploesti raid and make sure you get the right aircraft over the target. A diorama like that might take up a fair bit of space, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 So, that's a Squadron of Avro Lancasters and now a Squadron of Coastal Command or 100 Group Liberaters. When do you recommend me telling the wife, that she's moving into the garage, sometime this year? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do it when you are away on holiday, that way she might have calmed down by the time you get home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
