Hasegawa's new-tool B-24 in 72nd...

Not sure of your question. Do you mean the family of kits that has been out for a couple of years now? They have issued the Liberator as a D model, and as a J model in several boxes each. Great detail, great fit, etc. You should be able to find my Workbench Review of the initial issue B-24D kit on this website if you are a subscriber.

Yes, it doesn't seem like they have been out as long as they have but I suppose they have been out for awhile now.  From the few reviews I've seen they seem to be state-of-the-art for the B-24 in this scale.  Hasegawa has released several versions and numerous boxings to depict different a/c...such as "The Dragon and his Tail, Snow White, Cocktail Hour, etc...They have never met a kit they can't rebox a hundred times...

These M0J0's are pretty expensive.  I've seen them from $60 to over $100 for the rarer boxings...

I have 6 of these kits, 3 D's and 3 J's. ne of the 's has been built, and like the other J's, built as a H. they are very nice kits, for the most part they go together very well. I had a bit of an issue adding the nose section to the rest of the fuselage. the nose seems a bit wider. But other than that, fitted very well. The clear nose section made it easy to change the bomb aimers window into that of the H. And it come with un used parts for the J that i needed for an H, which was very handy. I am surprised they haven't released an H yet. I got all mine new a couple of years ago, and i think they were around the £40-50 mark. But the more recent releases are going for over 60, i can't understand why the price has gone up so much as they are the same ki9t with different markings. basically, they have made 2 kits, and are producing as many boxings as they can from the look of it. But i like its enought o buy 6, and i will buy some more when the right markings come along, i am looking at 4 more.

But heres the one i have built.

Have you considered the Eduard rebox of the Minicraft kit?

Comes with all the PE and canopy masks for half the price of the Hase kit.

Not a bad deal...the boxings look good and the Minicraft kit was probably the best in that scale until Hasegawa's release...I have one in the stash...But, if you want the best, you gotta go Hasegawa...

Well, even as a hardened Hase fan, i don't treat that as a hard and fast rule.

That's a nice build.

Here's another one:

Just sayin'...

I really dig it man.
