Homebee Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 (edited) Expected in Spring (May ?) 2024 - ref. A09010 - Consolidated B-24H Liberator https://uk.airfix.com/products/consolidated-b-24h-liberator-a09010 V.P. Edited January 14 by Homebee 38 8
Adam Poultney Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Called it that they would be doing a ww2 bomber! Not the one I expected though. Pretty happy to see it nonetheless, but I don't think I'll be picking one up just yet
PhantomBigStu Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 I'm am a prophet Yes I know I first predicted last year but still Means this years prediction of a new jaguar gr1/gr3 is a cert for next year 1
klr Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Hopefully there will be a B-24J and Coastal Command GR Mk.VI at some point. 5 1
Tbolt Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Nice choice by Airfix, will be getting on of these. Looking forward to see what their other "surprise announcements" are.
IanC Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 I correctly predicted it, too. I said they'd probably release an aeroplane. Cracking artwork. 18
janneman36 Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Take my money 💰 looking forward to this one 😀 Great box art, I hoped they would do a Libby 🥳
M.T.Dolby Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Finally!!!! No more conversions for me 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Mr T Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Good choice, I think quite a few RAF ones had the kit turret. Can't see my Academy one being built now. 1
Yes_Man Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 An excellent choice. Will be nabbing one of these in the near future.
Procopius Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 My great-uncle flew one of these! I think @Cookenbacher's granddad, did too. 5
Paul821 Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Sorry Airfix - at £46.99 I will not be cancelling my back order for the Academy re issue. Not only is the Academy one half the price and comes with Zodiac marking from Sudbury based Aircraft which meets my self imposed rule of only modelling local subjects. 3
TEXANTOMCAT Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 (edited) to be followed - almost certainly by an RAF/ IAF boxing or two and possibly a combo with the Bomber resupply set...but yet again it seems to have an integral nose so I guess a 'D would require a new fuselage... TT Edited January 9, 2024 by TEXANTOMCAT 2
AdrianMF Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Great choice by Airfix. Too many engines for me. I wonder if we will now see a lot more B-24s on auction sites? Regards, Adrian 2

Likewise from a Sudbury born n bred lad. Can't justify buying this as I've already got the first issue Academy Zodiac kits. Still looks good. 1
pizzapaolo Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Great choice, finding Hasegawa B-24's can be hard and/or expensive. Hope they release other variants down the line 3
Paul Alan Bardell Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Great news I've been wishing for this from Airfix for longer than I can remember. Will be getting 2 of these. Well done Airfix. 3
tomprobert Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 This is excellent news! Can’t wait to get my hands on this - well done, Airfix!
ChocolateCrisps Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Very nice - and I'm another one hoping for a Coastal Command VI/VIII from this tool in the future! 6
Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 This looks like a licence to print money!!! 3
Meatbox8 Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Good choice, Airfix. B-24 kits are surprisingly thin on the ground. I'm hoping for a Coastal Command release in the future. 8
T-21 Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Box art depicts B-24H-10-FO(Ford built) 42-52234 "Corky" 453BG, 733Bomb Squadron based at Old Buckenham, Norfolk, UK. Also sub titled "Burgundy Bombers". Delivered in December 1943 ,arrived at Old Buckenham Jan 30th1944. Getting war weary by February 1945 and sent to the 446BG, 706 Bomb squadron at Bungay. survived the war sent back to the USA and scrapped. I don't have any record of mission's flown but it must be 100 plus ? 5
