Looks like some big scale B-24 Liberators are on the way, so make room on the workbench and display shelf.

It would be pretty awesome, but I am waiting to see some test shots of real plastic, as Trumpeter/Hobby Boss have made promises in the past and not delivered.

WOW! A B-24 bomber in 1/32, even if it isn't perfect, would be AWESOME!

Is there any way to rate more than 5 stars!?

Great News. Another model to dream about. This is definitely a model I will try to make room for.

This is great news
When I have built the HK Models Lancaster I'll make a decision on whether or not I will buy this. One 1/32 scale bomber might just be enough but I certainly welcome this announcement

Amazing news!It would be great if they eventually did the Privateer version as well! How bout a 1/32nd C-123-that would also be great to see!

I can dream about this. Would love to see decals for the 93rd bomb group from the Ploesti raid. I ran into Col. Walter Stewart once and would like to do his "Utah man" or Col. Addison Baker's "Hell's Wench". I suspect this release will be well outside of my budget.

I think about all the interior detailing now available for the B-25 in 1/32nd and then consider all that beautiful greenhouse glass present in the B-24D and can only dream about the future detailing possibilities.
