Just finished this, OOB. Beware this kit, they tell you 55gm of nose weight which is extremely hard to squeeze in. I went over this weight and it’s still a tail sitter. Not as good engineering as their Gannett, but it’s not too bad I guess. It’s alot of work.

Very impressive work! Your pre-shading is terrific especially on the underside. Makes me want to reread Stephen Ambrose’s “The Wild Blue.”

Very nice, almost makes me think about breaking my life long 1/48th scale habit. How did you solve the tail sitting issue?

Good paint base/ prep and paint application in addition to all the fine details round this build out verrrry nicely Grant. Sucks about the fact that it’s a tail sitter after all of the weight that you fit into the nose, but it did come out a winner. Thank you for sharing this bud.

I haven’t yet, I used the boarding ladder to stop it tipping, I will try and get some lead under the nose turret or top turret
FWIW, Hasegawa ln its B-24 suggest 90 grams of weight on the nose. Makes me uneasy to have so much weight on a flimsy 1/72 nose gear.
