Hi all well i received two 1/48 kits of my daughters for fathers day and having not built any allied planes in this scale before(have built them in 1/72) have deceided on building the following - Liberator B-24 J "Maulin mallard" - Liberator B-24 D "Jerks Natural" - Lancaster mk111 "Phantom or the Ruhr"- Flying fortress B-17 "Memphis Belle"- now this will be ongoing because each plane has it`s own history which i will post before i start each build in turn Starting with Maulin Mallard. they will each have detail sets and etch also panel lines will be re- scribed on some of them too, So the kits i`ve got are Revell Monogram and Tamiya the lanc and the liberator J are second hand kits which i got of ebay hope to start soon regards Phil  tigerace attached the following image(s): COMING SOON =1/72 Italeri diorama`s Battle for the Reichstag and Stalingrad battle at the tractor factory 1/16 Trumpeter King Tiger with loads of extras ON THE GO= refurbishment of 1/25 Tamiya tiger 1 , amt Star trek kits and space 1999 models

Some nice kits there Phil and in a good scale too. I particularly like the Liberator and will be watching and commenting on all of your bomber builds.
Well done, I'm looking forward to the start of your diaries already!

That's a lot of extra goodies Phil, I can see these bombers being very detailed when complete, and those homemade decals look excellent (well done 'Sticky' Phil).
I'll be watching with great interest when you start these.
