    I made up drawings and 3D files for printing holders for HS55 servos for all three turrets. I modified one servo to 360 degree rotation for the top turret. The pilots I used are from 21st century toys. They are 1:18 scale Stuka pilots and gunners but look fine after re-painting them. I am getting ready to do another full up set for a friends B24. It will be a different livery but turrets will match.
    Do you have the stl files for the hs555? Thinking about doing the tail turret on mine. I have the other 2 done already.

        Sam,

        I don't know of any STLs specifically for the B-24 bomb bay.

        That said, there are STLs for the Flightline B-25 available. See Link below.

        You could certaonly scale these in your slicer program or with CAD software.

        Might need some mods, but it is a hobby.

        Glad to have you onboard, Sir.

        Best, LB

          Hi Sam: I have printed and still use bombs and bomb racks as Elbee pointed out on my B-25. I think the scale is different so you'd have to make changes to the bomb size and the rack, but it is definitely doable. I would suggest that for the bombs that you put a small weight in the nose so that the bombs will streamline into the wind and come down in a realistic manner. I used a small bolt glued into a hole in the nose that works great.
