We've had a handful of requests, so here it is, nomenclature markings for the B-24!

I would rather have the extra power, fly half throttle and fly longer then to fly with scale power and not have it when I need it. R. :)

There is no RC pilot who would accept true to scale power:weight.
NONE. Not even the most nit-picky about wanting people to fly in a scale manner.

Few will accept even 0.8:1 power:weight in an RC model and that is close to twice the power to weight of the fully loaded bombers.

Callie, sent a PM.

Been working on Witchcraft some more, this is one fantastic model, if it flies half as good as it looks it will be my new go-to plane.

Looks amazing George. I bet it is a beast.

Same here. The way I look at it, fly it the way you want. Nobody is pointing a gun to anyone's head to make them fly it at "1200mph". You have restraint, don't you. It's only ridiculous if that's what it is to you. You show off your scale bomber your way and I'll show mine my way. My Dynam B-26 does rolls and loops and flies inverted. The crowd loves it. I love it.

Come on guys, I did agree that extra power is good to have. And sure, I know its lots of fun to go fast and hot dog - nothing's wrong with that but you can't say it's "scale flying'. Except for some models...

I love lighting up the rocket on my Durafly Komet and take it vertical at 70 mph! (about 800mph scale). Like XViper said, the crowd loves it!

I just enjoy the challenge to fly warbird models as realistically as I can. Flat takeoffs, smooth turns.... It makes an impression on people, it no longer looks like a toy. Longer flight times are a bonus.

TiredIron, your pics are terrific. What a great-looking plane. Its going to be really difficult to wait all the way until January to get mine! I know we'll all be anticipating your first flights!

Three new sets have just been added! I'm also currently working on a nomenclature set. I should have that available by the end of the week.

Does anyone have the location where the stencil nomenclature markings for the B-24 goes?

I also would like to know! We haven't seen what decal sheets are coming with the B-24 other that the two completed models. I wonder if any nomenclature decals will come with the B-24 kit like the P-38 kit had?

I'm working on a placement sheet for the nomenclature! I hope to have it done soon!

[Callie Graphics]

This one might look familiar!



For anyone that might like to do their B-24 up as a PB4Y-1, here is Calvert 'N Coke!

Found this online for those of us doing the Witchcraft livery.

I've seen artist renderings that show the left outboard engine cowl painted silver instead of red like the others, but all the actual photos I could find were only B&W. Although it does appear to be that way in the photos too. Anyone know for sure?

[vduniec]

There is a decal sheet of this aircraft describing the natural metal cowling. The decal sheets for plastic modeling are pretty well researched. I used them a lot for my references. If you Google B-24 decals Witchcraft it'll show up, I'm sure. Don't have a link, sorry.

Pat........Had to go look and see what branch you served with in the Military Branch Survey.
Knew you weren't Navy cause they taught us left is Port and right is Starboard. LOL
