The late General Jimmy Stewart piloted B-24's in the war.

That was me with my '68 Chevy pickup...lol... Got me through high school but blew the engine on graduation day.

To be honest, haven't B17 films been done to death? How about a Band of Brothers style series about B-24s. For me, they were the work force of USAF. Faster than B17, longer range, and more bomb capacity. Less guns. More B24s produced. More lost. B24 crews were the true Masters of the Air.

I plan to use the DC 3 as a flying detail over the new layout currently in the works. It is strange both are 1/48 but the plane looks huge. But another but, the paratroopers fit the door height of the caboose, go figure! Should be interesting....

I'm trying a different technique with the figures. I'm making washes and using them in a layer fashion instead of straight from the bottle. I'll just keep on building they layers until I like the effect, so far it seems to be working for me.

Nice! That's going to be a big tank!

It took 7 minutes to go from this to this a damp cloth was used. As with any filler, it takes a few applications to get it right. Still feel a ridge another coat was applied
