NEW Official Unboxing Airfix- Consolidated B-24H Liberator (A09010) 

Nice I’m kinda the opposite because I’m building a avro Lancaster with my grandad

The REAL "missed opportunity" was the historical clusterfuck they made Natural Metal (NMF) B.17-F's in 1945 didn't happen - it's utterly laughable Also, 15th AF "Tuskegee Airmen" did NOT escort B.17's over Denmark, The Baltic Sea, nor the North Sea, especially NOT back in 1943, it's horseshit

Further to the above : My Dad's best mate is/was exceedingly close with Al' Freijtas, ball gunner on "Our Baby" - (they got that bit "right") "Our Baby" was lost over Bremen on 8th Oct' 1943 (Cleven on board) Why they (film-makers) fucked-up after that is inexcusable.... I don't expect to see Breitlings & Rolex on Napoleonic Soldiers 1815 Nor do I expect to see Smartphones or Internet in a 1914-1918 movie The idiots who made "Munsters of the Air" shoulda stuck to "G"s (1945 scenes More to the point - don't fuck with historical accuracy.... Natural Metal Finish (N.M.F) Boeing B.17-F's DID NOT HAPPEN over Berlin in vast formations in April 1945 = (they'd been replaced//retired by then) Nor did the ("Let's appease the F'kn WOKE BRIGADE") Tuskegee Airmen show up in the ETO using Italy based MTO x P.51's near Denmark nor The Baltic !! Especially NOT in 1943 - (done to appease idiots & the 'WOKE' luvvies Very first of the P.51 escorts & were 354th, 355th & 4th F.G's = NOT TUSKEGEES The first BERLIN raid was 6th March '44 - (Tuskegee's weren't over E.T.O_) Far too many "Historical Clusterfucks" in this 8th A.F garbage The makers defacated on Historical accuracy during this crap. Like doing a remake of "Bullitt" & giving Steve McQueen a 1973 "MACH.1" Or giving Phillias Fogg (David Niven) a 747 for Round World 80 in days Or putting Jean Harlow or James Cagney inside a Saturn.V in "White Heat" Ridiculous !!

That's okay. I'm only going to want to build a RAF Coastal Command version But I take your point. They are going to be a pain to replace, especially the cheek mounted Brownings in the transparent p art.

​@pencilpauli9442 Understood. I too hope for a Coastal Command version down the road. But this is terribly annoying when representing an American B-24.

@@Chilly_Billy The guns could have been made on their own sprues. It would have bumped up production costs but would have been worth the effort imho

​​@@pencilpauli9442 Exactly. Or do the correct guns for this release and then add a small sprue with British-style guns for RAF Liberators. It's quite common among all kit manufacturers, including Airfix.

Chill, Bill......😀

Hi Max- just do like i did. Do some dishwashing and garden work to earn some pocket money😄 Kept me supplied with a steady stream of Matchbox and Airfix kits in the seventies. Nice memories to have many years later. I think the more expensive kits came as birthday presents.

А сколько годочков стукнуло ребенку😉😂

I have to empty the dishwasher tidy the living room and take out the blue and brown bins keep my room tidy and that how I save up

@@larsjensen1358 I would but my country doesn't really make that possible

Thankfully not matchbox level :)
