I was just looking at building a Liberator and noticed that every kit is basically a variation of a 20+ year old Hasegawa kit. What a fortuitous surprise that info about this kit just dropped. I'll hold off and wait for reviews of this.

Woheee! Really hope we now get a correct B-24H with the distinctive s-shaped nose panel lines, and that it's a modular fuselage so we will also see other Ford-built versions. Like the late H, J or L and finally a M (although Academy has done one years ago, but that kit needs to much surgery).

Just visited the Airfix blog about the B-24H project… and yes, the fuselage is modular! Also the first test-builds looking very promising in terms of overall shape and details, although the wheel well structure is a bit crude. But I think there's some mix-up regarding rivet-lines versus panel-lines. Especially in the nose section some lines are executed as panel-lines, whereas there just should be a line of rivets. For instance: there is a vertical panel-line that crosses the astrodome when it should actually end with the horizontal panel-line directly above the navigator window. Also the vertical panel-line directly behind the nose turret, on the turret fairing, is just a line of rivets. And some panel-lines are missing just behind the obligue panel-line, which starts from the pilot/copilot sliding-window, goes downwards and divides the nose compartment from the rest of the fuselage. And last, there should be some longitudinally directed panel-lines on the area between pilot/copilot canopy and astrodome.

I have photoshop'ed the airfix renders and this is how I think the panel lines should be: [img1]
