one thing to consider on the nose gear doors..the D model the doors retracted into the fuselage, where the J model simply opened

[Hardway]

I know Charlie. I just don’t like duplicating effort on a livery already modeled. I like being unique! :Silly: Since we are a big family here, I just thought it would be nice to ask first. :Cool: But, the Dragon grew on me!

I was going to use the silver base for a heavily chipped OD bird, but after seeing the pics of this livery, I just had to try the challenge of the graphics. I sent TiredIron a PM to get the go-ahead, since his was the only one out there that I have seen. Didn't want to step on any toes!!! :Cool: Thank you George for being so gracious...

:Confused: George didn't invent or copyright that graphic.
There is no toes being stepped on and yes George is one of the most gracious gents I've personally met in ages.;)
It is a :Cool:looking livery and having another model representing the artistry of S/Sgt Sarkis E. Bartigian is another kudo to a very talented veteran.

Awesome !

I am going to paint the red and white rudders and the black diagonal stripe on the vertical stabs. The decals are nice, but I think paint will be better! Have the base coat of silver on and white is next for the rudders. That is all rattle can, then out comes the airbrush for the stripes....

HA!!! I was writing the msg above while you posted too!!! LOL Too funny... But thank you again for sharing the dragon!!!

After I received "the Dragon and His Tail" graphics from Callie, I had to apply them ASAP!!! My plan is to wrap the fuselage back in the packaging and put her back in the box until ready to build. But at this point, I am ready to get 'er done now!!! LOL We will see....

Nice livery ;)

Speaking of B-24's, I've been fiddling when I can. Here's the cockpit so far. Just a test fit which you guys inspired (and are totally to blame for!) My eyes may never been the same:Silly:

At this pace I may maiden it around Christmas :(

Ha! That is light speed! Great job... :Cool:

Welcome rogbmw! Glad you are here. Thank you for your Dad’s service!

[Sky Wolf]

I pulled out my Dad's squadron books from the Jolly Roger's. Wow - so many pictures. I found a write-up on everything from when he was drafted, through basic and engineer training, then on to meet up with the crew and then all 50 missions he flew. There was even his Christmas Card sent with the Queen Mae nose on the front. I showed my wife all the nose art pictures in his squadron books - she thought they looked great, but then said "They certainly would not go now!"

I can't wait to get started on the tribute plane to him. The CORRECT tail number on the Queen Mae was 314. I have the information on it from when it came in service until it was scrapped after the war.

That’s going to be really cool to see!

From a prototype with gear doors...

[RickVB]

I've given up at this point; I just find it a mild annoyance every time I look at the plane, since they were promised at announcement time. Kind of out of character for the Motion guys. And, I'm too lazy to scratchbuild them.

[Hardway]

I asked Aros and he is checking with Alpha for an update on the gear door status...

[MikeT]

After 7 months I'd think it wasn't going to happen. Not a deal breaker on my end. That's just me though.

FlightLine RC 2000mm B-24 Liberator


Available in both green and silver paint schemes, each model includes BOTH the -D and -J nose in the box, and includes two decal sets comprising both waterslide and matte vinyl decals. Additional decal sets are available for purchase from our partner, Callie Graphics, at www.callie-graphics.com. A main strut suspension strut is available as an upgrade for rough runways, and a nose door upgrade is also available, although only recommended for paved runways due to the B-24’s characteristically low ground clearance.
