Also a big fan of the B24s. Which squadron was he attached to? My great uncle was a bombardier with 358. I made 1:72 scale model of his plane a year ago. Hasagawa do a nice model in that scale although the interior is quite basic. Gonna give it another go with the monogram 1:48 kit which has good photo etch from Eduard. Would love to see you uncles photo journal! You are very lucky to have that.

@@chrisrobertson1641 Hi Chris, my uncle was part of the mechanics and ground crew he dealt with the Electrics and Instruments. I allowed the local RAFA Club to borrow it and they copied the photos I believe. I haven`t it at hand right now, it is at my parents but 358 sounds familiar. He was with the "Herbs" which I believe looked after the Libs with prefix "H", there are a few great little photos. One is of "Flak Happy" a Lib and others. I even have the Xmas menu 1945 from RAF PEGU 1945. The back has many faded signatures all in pencil, but I`m sure they could be examined. There are other craft, plus a few snaps of the Japanese "Imperial Guard" all 6` ft tall or more filling up transports. Plus there is a rough snap of an adapted Lancaster Bomber which was "flying around the world" but tragically after being refuelled crashed after take off. The photo album was my uncles' favourite reminder of the friends and comrades he spent 7 years with, I was mad on Aircraft and like many kids military hardware. But I knew my planes and through that, we sat and went through the album many times, which was special to me. He left it for me after his death and I treasure it. If you are still interested, contact me after Xmas. You never know it may contain something of your great uncle. Merry Xmas.

You could always use 1/48 scale trucks and such just a suggestion stay the course Bruce

I've wondered the Same Thing about the Military Production Companies Myself,,, it's Not Just Disappointing,,IT'S STUPID !!!

Every time i See 1/32 i ask myself the same thing. What a waste of opportunitys.

My understanding is that originally the Armour scale was 1/32 looking at Revell, Airfix, etc. But the Asian standard was 1/35 mototrised toy like kits especially from Tamiya, whom quickly improved and set the standard.

psionicdreams I think if that can become true Maybe making the battles in WWll Like battle of Berlin is possible

Hang it from the ceiling?

gonna need a bigger bench

May you can put them together and buff out the seam just a thought you don't hear much about the H model stay the course Bruce

The H version was from Ford Willow Run. The Emerson nose turret was standard on this, as was the ball turret. Depending where J's were built, the could have a tail turret as the nose turret. Also the J has the extra little window, aft od the bombardier's main window.The H didn't.

@@Blargaldalien I should've know that I'm a lost for words was their a difference in the waist windows considering I live in Michingan and have been to their Thunder over Michingan Air Show a couple of times learn something new today thank you for reminding me stay the course Bruce

@@brucerobinson7295 Early J's had the open waist windows.A later improvement, was to have a plexiglass window and a sealed mount for the .50. Also the guns were staggered, so one gun on one side, was in the rear corner of the window, and the other was forward.

I think someone (Airfix?) started with big planes in 1/32. Very English scale. Other compagnies followed because that standard had set.

Decals for the B-24 Witch Craft very colorful nose art stay the course Bruce

especially when the Lancasters get there.

Looks like they fogged the entire turret.

B-24D look out Romania oil fields would love to build Jerks Natural from the Mighty Eighth hopefully if they do release one the after market gets on the stick and does decals for different bombers and groups stay the course Bruce

@@brucerobinson7295 The B-24 at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Oh. is a D Model.
