The only part of the B-32 that was similar to the B-24 was the wing. That is not enough for a model making company to reduce the cost of new molds. Tis is even more true when you take into account how few of the B-32's were made, only 118 were made compared to the roughly eighteen and a half thousand B-24's.

Only similar in terms of aerodynamic profile, both being examples of the "Davis Wing", they are not dimensionally similar.

Thanks for the information another build added to the list. I wonder if a kitbash might be easier and cheaper than the Anigrand model.

Contrail and Aviation USK both have done models of the B-32, both vac-forms I think.

Gondor

Yes they have, I just have to wait until I have the funds to buy one ,hence the kitbash option.

Heads up - Double Hobby Reward points on any in-stock purchases through the Airfix website (and all Hornby websites I think) from now until midnight on May 27th.

I'm really tempted by the Bulldog, but it will need the rigging doing in order to do it justice and I don't think I'm up to it

That just reminded me Chris..ive got a Bulldog in 48th ..one I got given to me from my mate who's uncle passed away...it's already built...no idea on the manufacturer buts white ...like that helps

New Bulldog is the wrong scale.  But never fear for I have a bagged example of the 1969 mould 1/72 version.
It needs spats IMO.

Could be Inpact or Merit, the former being newer and more finely detailed, but the Merit ones were good too.

The Inpact kit was later re-popped by Life Like, Pyro and Lindberg, but without the rigging lines originally included by Inpact.

You may ask why a dedicated NON-biplane modeller like me knows this, but I built a demo one for my mates model shop in the early 70s.

Thanks ya muchly Kit 
For some reason I think it's possibly Lindberg..just working on the idea about kits which can be gotten here..Lindberg can be brought here still but this was brought a long time ago so ya just never know for sure .
As you can guess..zero rigging..so some fun to be had there 😉 😄
Tell ya one thing..old Uncle Arthur sure had a lot of Frog kits..many brand new to.

Maybe someone will do a photoetch rigging set.

I tried one of those sets once, admitedly in 1/72, and I'm still seeing the specialist

i have a couple of them.  One for the Airfix Be2c and one for something else I forget.  Not tried either yet.
Can't be harder than elastic thread though can they?

Put simply ? Yes they are in my view, simply handling long thin straight pieces of brass is a PIA

Get a trained spider, which is why Kit doesn't do biplanes.

Never really got on with etch brass....nor Parafilm.

DAMN right there!
