lyonkubb Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'm not really well versed on WWII aircraft intricacies- I noticed there is not a lot of aftermarket for B-24H's ..... but there is for B-24J's. What is the difference between the two? Should I be able to use masks for an Academy B-24J on my H? or at least a good part of them? What about PE? Thanks in advance- Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmat Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) The B-24H is a Ford built B-234 with the nose turret. An easy identifier is the lower bombardier window on the nose. If the rear of the window slants back then it is an airframe produced at the Ford Willow Grove factory. But Ford also sent knock down unassembled kits to other manufacturers to assemble. If the rear is perpendicular, then it is a Consolidated or a North American produced aircraft. Look at this BritMod thread; https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235035723-minicraft-b-24m-nose-on-hasegawa-b-24/ And this ARC thread; The Minicraft B-24L is a Consolidated machine but the Minicraft B-24M has a flawed version of the Ford nose. Hope that this helps. Grant Edited October 25, 2019 by gmat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
