Thanks John @john. I usually do the same, but it's crazy when I'm about to cross the finish line I'm always rushing the work and now we see the results.. Hopefully not to much noticeable.

Thanks a lot Erik @airbum. Actually my fingers were shacking, but I kept my toes cross.

Looking fabulous decalled, my friend @yann!

Yann just finished reading your build report. Very nice work on prepping the model before applying the bare metal finish. The B-24 is not an easy task in any scale and producer. I don't think the Monogram kit has a separate nose section. Or the old Revell 72nd kit either. But Academy has the same approach with the separate nose for each version. But molded in grey plastic not clear. As Spiros pointed out, not easy to clean if the fit is not perfect. Good idea with the match sticks as temporary landing struts, at least you know to this point she stands on her feet nose down. Looking forward to the finish.

Many thanks Spiros @fiveten.

Thank you Chuck @uscusn. I fully agree with you it's not an easy kit! I my small experience of modeler, this build is one of most difficult I encountered.

Hello guys, I did not show up for a wile, but now I'm back with some progress. One week ago I fixed the landing gear which went quite smoothly.

Then fixed the ball turret, easy stuff except for the guns. Weird way to get them glued on the turret...

And eventually it was time to get some power on this Lady. Let's go for the engines. I started by the exhaust. I tried to get a color close to the rusty burnt iron, not sure I succeeded. When fixing them they were looking strange like they where hanging on the nacelle. I checked on google and actually they like this.

I continued with the radial engine. mix paint of silver and anthracite

Finally fixing the propellers.

After reading the progress from Chuck @uscusn (btw very interesting report and great build) I realized that I completely forgot the waist gunner movable windows.

If anybody has an idea how to get those baby in their position without too much 'mambo jambo' I will appreciate.
