The B-24 I did was pretty much my first model since returning, I still think it's probably my best, but I feel I can do better, so I'm using these cheaper old kits to practice things like Alclad etc. I'm doing a 1/72 B-24 at the moment, whiich I'm either going to use different tones of Alclad on differing panels or foil it. It's nice chucking things out quickly because it gives me something to have at the end of the day plus I've learnt something along the way.
I've just started dabbling with making my own photo etch and I've just sent off for some casting resin. I'm going to be building a fully fitted B-24 in 1/48. I'll use the Monogram as a "shell" (I still have 4 as I recently found another one), grind out the interiors and make a new one. I may even completely scratch build it if I can get good enough with the photo etch.
I only asked because I distinctly remembered my instruction sheet having the OD upper panel mentioned in the painting instructions.
