A good week ago I was able to buy a bargain like this set. I decided to take care of it right away and here are the first reports of my work. This is a limited set from the Zodiac series. Decals after the first tests and attempts to apply the IP panel in the cockpit, unfortunately I found them unfit due to old age (model from 1997). So I will use DK-Decals set. The model with shipping cost me about $ 42, which I consider a great price. Unfortunately, there is no perfectly matching set of masks, so I will have to improvise something.

I bought some extra aftermarket goods, but after time I found that PE IP pannel was too big. Unfortunetly IP decal was broken in to a lot of pieces. I try to paint it by hand but it looks terrible and I repaint it. Cockpit is very basic so figures increas final look.

Pilots do look great, Bernard @lis
Pity the PE IP was too big, how about resizing it a bit, or does that also affect the gauges.

Great to see another B-24. I will be following along Lis, @lis. So far, very nice!

Main problem was to fit nose and fuselage section. Academy produced various types of B-24 nose typical for D, H, J, and M version. So They made it as separate part. I worried about this step but after I used extra thin quick set glue it worked.

The nose fits perfectly fine, Bernard @lis

Some bombs and bomb racks. Do You have any ideas why manual suggest only five 500 lbs bombs?

In the kit there are eight bombs but manual suggest only 5.
