Hi,
I just noticed that KM's B-24 D (both models) is missing the wheel well covers for the front wheels. Is this something weird that has happened to my system? or has it always been like this and I just haven't noticed before?

Thanks
Gavin

This was intended.
The model represents the B-24 used in the desert without lower turret (to increase range) and removed covers.
I remember there was an issue with them while operating in the MTO, so they were removed on many aAircraft.

Hi Jaxon,
KM's B-24 D contained 2 models. The first was a standard B-24 D, the 2nd is as you described (stripped version to reduce weight). The funny thing is that both models are missing the front wheel doors.

I don't remember ever noticing this before and was wondering if there was some thing weird going on with my system?

For those not aware...............

www.freeflightdesign.com (http://www.freeflightdesign.com) has alot of basic military, commericial models to build from ............including the B-24d and B-24J

If you look at the B-24d it is missing a front wheel door......................or its up because wheels are down in the bacis model .......key frams added later

so this maybe the basic model K.Malinowski built from...............

Crack out the FSDS and add a door and make your ouwn if the mood so strikes you............

I don't have cfs2 in..............could the key frames be screwed up..........so the doors open on the bomb bay???........... or flaps or ???? oh well.........minor issue.....
