B-24s are now becoming available

I'm sorry for the long wait but the first four nose turreted B-24s are now available at ECardmodels.com.

I have a total of nine versions either completed or in the stages of being finished. Hopefully the next three will be available this week or early next.

I was thinking of making it an even ten and I thought it would be more interesting if people made suggestions as to what it should be. Whichever B-24 gets the most suggestions will become model number ten. This is open to nose turreted B-24s only and I’ll give everyone a week to make suggestions. So the deadline will be June 7.

The next three will be a Nationalist Chinese B-24M and two from the 8th Air Force, “The Cat’s Ass” and a plain natural metal finish bird from the 466th Bomb Group. After that will be an RAF Coastal Command scheme and the assembly ship “Tubarao”.

The Nationalist Chinese B-24 is different from the two 8th AF birds.

Very cool! I just bought your 15th AF Liberator and the RAF version. The templates and layout look gorgeous!

(Checks pdfs)

Holy molly! There's a lot of MB in this file! I really love how everything is all fit into the file. After checking the templates more carefully, I must say I am in love with the graphics and textures on your model.

Two thumbs up from me!

Nationalist B24

Hi,

Thought all of you might want to see this picture.

My dad was in WWII and he was trained in the B24's
in Santa Ana California. About 20 miles south of
Los Angeles California. He was a bombardier for
the Nationalist Chinese Air force. The picture was
taken in 1943 when he met my mom during the war.
