It is really cool, and i'd like to see a styrene kit made by someone. I just don't think I can do vacuform.

Yeah it looks hard to do. He scratch built a lot of it. The same guy built a Martin Mariner. I thought I saw a B-17 but I can't find it now. Lots of cool 1:32 builds on that site.

One of these days someone will make a 1:32 four engine bomber kit for the masses.

I guess the Revell JU-88 won kit of the year on that site.

Amazing work! My Dad was a navigator on a B24 with the 15th out of Italy...He was shot down on a raid over Bucharest and spent the final 14 months of the war in a German prison camp.
I've got a Corgi 1/48 scale B24, a super nice model for sure, but would I love to have it in a 1/32 scale!

ack, vacuform..geez I have horror stories of 1/72 scale Vacs..a few of which I just gave up on and tossed when I found a plastic of the same subject.

IIRC There are/were 1 or 2..I think 1 plastic kit of a late B-24 in 1/32.

I have to hunt down the link I have to the plane/kit's story of someone who found one. it's on a flashD somewhere.

Well you never know what could come out now days, we have 1:32 plastics of Ju 88 and upcoming Ar 196A and Heinkel..so anything could be cooked up by Revell Germany or Trump. Maybe an anniv. of the Polesti Raid?
