    The wheels really look great, Bernard (@lis). Resin wheels really make a big difference. I was trying to place the music in your video clip, I think it is from either The Battle of Britain or 633 Squadron. Am I close to the right movie?

    Yes George @gblair. Music is from 633 squadron movie! I’m fan of classic war movies.

    After a lot of corrections touch ups etc etc fuselage is ready for final painting.

    Looks great, Bernard (@lis). As you already know, it takes a lot of weight to hold the nose down on B-24 models, and finding a place to hide the weight is tough. My current favorite war movie is a recent one: Masters of the Air (it was on AppleTV+). My classic favorites are Air Force, 12 O'clock High, 633 Squadron, and Battle of Britain. There is another good one that features Polish pilots during the Battle of Britain: 303 Squadron.

    Props are ready.

    @gblair Unfortunetly I don't watch this serial in Apple TV. I think nice movie with aviation theme is also Dunkirk.

    Absolutely, Bernard (@lis). Dunkirk has some really good flying. I really like the scene where the Spitfire has run out of gas and the pilot is gliding down to the beach.
