The RH side of the nose/cockpit assembly is glued in place now, and that gives me a guide for how to re-model the bomb bay. I'll do that before I add the LH side of the nose/cockpit as I may have to fiddle about inside first, and it's a very narrow fuselage!

Here its is so far, with a teaser view of one extended wing. It won't be QUITE that long, but that's the root part of it anyway.

Any guesses where it came from?  ;D

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

B-24 Liberator mes thinking 🤔 😊
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Going by the two colours for the upper and lower part of the wing I would say Matchbox PB4Y-2

You lot are too damn good.  :thumbsup:

I couldn't find a B-24 kit in The Loft, but I did find THREE Privateers, so one got the job.

ALL of you were right really.  ;D

It'll need a tad thinning as the top surface of the thick Davis section ends up higher than the top of the fuselage, but nothing that a hefty file and some PSR can't sort out.

Matchbox plastic should withstand it.
