| B24 Bomber
This is my new plane a B24 Bomber designation unknown as it came off the net as just a B24, yes all the ribbing is in this one as I'm learning more and more to take my time and build carefully one of my biggest mistakes even in plastic model building is to do it yesterday BUT now I've learnt to slow down and enjoy the art of building these cardstock models  . So please enjoy and follow my build of this plane. |

Looking good so far, I am like mike, i am looking forward to seeing this build thread.

| Well it's come on a little further now with the install of the tail turret and the nose glass, my only problem is now trying to find the top turret pieces as they seems to be missing or I'm  I have to use parts from the rear one to make to top one it is a bit confusing but I'll get there. | |

| A bit more has been done, I don't know if this got on or not because of a laptop crash we had here anyway here it is again just in case.
The guns are made out of my wife's syringe needles that she uses for her medication.  | |

| Looking good Russell. I hope your wife gets chance to use the needles before you steal them off her!

| Howdy Russell,
Well she certainly is coming right along. The needles were a nice bit of creativity. I sometimes find it amazing at how creative modelers can be using things like Needles for guns, fishing line for guy wires, future floor wax for a high gloss finish etc.
Keep the photos coming I am eager to see this bird when its completed.
Have a good day,
Greg | |

| Thanks Richard & Greg, the wife's doing fine at the moment that's why I use the needles actually to tell the truth the ones I used where actually used ones that I washout first with hot water detergent & disinfectant solution to clean and steriles them for my use they not new she wouldn't let me do that because of wot they cost. Another picture will be posted soon to show wot I've done so far it's looking good guys I'm taking my time on this build. Oh by the way the B25 is going to be built again as I'm not happy with the first one's wings & the way the glue set.  Blasted hot weather. | |

| B24 Bomber
The continuing saga, it now is fitted with it's wings and is just waiting for the engines to be built, I suppose U could call it a large glider bomber at the moment. | |

| This sure is a very impressive looking model,when you think about it card adapts well to the aluminium build of these bombers,it has probably been discussed before here,but what is considered the best adhesive to build up card models ?
