1:72 B-24H - questions on aftermarket


Recommended Posts

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

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.
