Wow, nice to see another WWII airplane, especially a rather uncommon one.
Good MOC, you nailed the pencil thin fuselage, though once again the canopy
is tricky. Did the old TV antenna's come in grey? That would look great,
though I have no idea what they go for.

The old antennae do indeed come in grey - though I couldn't tell you what set,
or what they're ging for now.  I was thinking the same thing, they would be a
perfect representation of the aerials in the front.

Great plane, Gary!  Somewhere recently I read something about those 60-degree
top-mounted guns, though for the life of me I can't recall the source.
Definitely a nasty idea, given how vulnerable the bombers were (I haven't read
the whole book yet, but Stephen Ambrose refers to the fact that one could
pierce the side of a B24 with a knife in _The Wild Blue_).

The embedded insignia on the wings looks fantastic as well.

Thanks guys.  Yeah, I thought how killer those antennae would look, didn't
have any available though :(  If I can dredge any up, I'll be sure to try
them out.

I just got some parts in from BrickBay, so I'm overhaulling the front end
tonight.  Stay tuned...
