Captain Boogaloo Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 More wheels! Eduard have joined the party, with a set released soon: are there more upgrades coming?? If anyone knows, don't be shy! Blue Skies! Captain Boogaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Boogaloo Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Also, Draw Decals are doing the Collings Foundation B24 'Witchcraft ' markings in a very accurate decal sheet including the Sponsors names and a lot of other details, very comprehensive for $40. Wish I'd found that before I'd shelled out for Kits Worlds Dragon and his Tail sheet, which lacks a lot of details ( and ain't cheap!) C'est la vie! Blue Skies!

Pup7309 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 No new turrets as far as I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The Eduard wheels are out, and they are lovely. Same size as the B-17 wheels (as they should be), but they have a different tread pattern and the hubs are molded in place. They also fit nicely into the wing openings. I'll post some pictures shortly. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Here's the photos, as promised. The B-24 wheel is one the left, while the B-17 wheel is on the right: And here's the B-24 wheel in the wing: Now, let's see some new turrets... pretty please. - Dennis S.

nmayhew Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 On 1/26/2020 at 2:57 AM, Captain Boogaloo said: Hello, bit of a thread resuscitation: I'd like to recommend Halberd Models wheel set for the B24, there are choices of treads for the wheels, covered or open wheels and (I'm pretty sure) unlike the b17 brassin Eduard wheels the Halberd ones are the right scale size for a 1\32 aircraft. And the tyres are actually rubber ( of some kind!) so should give a nice 'flat' on the model. I got mine through eBay, not sure if anyone currently stocks them. Hope that's of interest. Blue Skies! Captain Boogaloo PS I got a set of 109ace's vacform\resin turrets; good value, I'd say. A good improvement over the kit ones at least! can you elaborate on what the size differential is / why the Eduard ones are incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Boogaloo Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Short version: Eduard B17 wheels are a tiny bit undersize ( full size are 56" ) they don't quite scale up, it's not enough to get upset about ( iirc it's something like 1.75 mm). Halberd have it spot on. Can't recall who/where pointed out this little gem, but it was backed up with solid maths. Would you like a set of Eduard B 17 wheels for a fiver? Plus postage. Blue Skies!
