nice little ball turret
testing the wing

looking if its going okay
looking good but needs improvements
idea getting better
part of the nose sollution
needed some filler
current stage still working on it
just bought privateer gave me an extra nose cone to use, although its not clear still usable
found a spare nose (not clear plastic) but still will fit the kit
donor nose fits good enough, privateer donor is doing good
keeping the nose down to let the cement go into the gaps
not too bad of a nose job, some paint, then some windows painting, DM me if you have a good advise for window colour!
someone got a nice new painted nose 🙂
still need loads of work to look good
added some bits

Gary KitchenHi Johan. You seem to have mastered this old kit. How did you find the plastic? I recently added its PBY stablemate to my stash and it all seems very brittle, all the blades have snapped off the hubs for eg. Not sure if mine is the 1965 or 1997 one though.

Johan van MeerlooThe nose is from my now donor revell privateer
The kit itself is from 1969ish was in warped condition though not brittle. Only some small parts and nosecone were missing.
Not finished yet, anyone got a good idea for colour of nose to make it look like glass???

RobbieBeen watching your turmoil. I have the 'Navy' version of your kit. Same thing but the plastic is blue.

I found some old Squadron Vac-U- form canopies that I will use if I get up the nerve to build it
Boeing B-24D Canopy Set (Squadron SQT9143, 1:72)
I did see it on sale on ebay - if it is not too late for you
