The lifelike decals (part 4) were used rather than the kit ones Which was a good move. Its a good kit.

Nice, you don't seem to see many of these built up. You've done a good job

Looks really nice, i built the Hasegawa Kit and it was a challenge to not become a tailsitter 😉

I put large amounts of lead in nose and frobt of engine nacelles....and it still tail sat. A clear bit of sprue glued to the tail bump skid keeps it from tail sitting.

My father was the pilot of the Goon in the CBI. Great job on the model. I do have dvds of his 8 mm films taken during combat, in China and India.

@ChevSam - you should post any stories your father had flying "The Goon" that he might of passed on to you. You google 'B-24 The Goon' and you get a ton of info back. The top gunner has some fame down here in Arizona.

The detail on the cowlings was very subtle so I went over it with a panel line scribe. I also added deluxe materials liquid gravity into each cowling to help stop tail sitting (it did not work).

Thanks @ChevSam . The history of the aircraft and crew was very interesting and influenced which tail markings to use. Great nose art too.

Nice looking B-24 from an old kit! Good idea with the clear sprue piece for tail. So are you saying it's pretty much a tail sitter regardless what you do? (For my planning).

Thanks Paul. Well I failed to avoid tail sitting but you maybhave more luck. I can remember how much I put in the fuselage. I know I filled the front of the engines with delus materials liquid gravity.
