Armory 1/144 B-24 Liberator Wheels
By Matt Bittner
Overview
Unfortunately the only, readily-available B-24 in 1/144 is the ancient Crown kit, re-released by Revell and lately by Minicraft. There are issues with the kit and while Minicraft tried to add parts to make the late-mark B-24J into a B-24D, it doesn't quite make it the entire way. But I leave that for the reader to figure out. Thankfully CafeReo has released a new-tool B-24 but it's not easy to track down. In any event, if you're building a 1/144 B-24, then look no further for replacement wheels.
The Wheels
This release from Armory is wheels and tires for a 1/144 B-24. The tires are "weighted", meaning they're "bulged" and detail is really well done.

"Universal" means the wheels aren't drilled to a specific kit so you'll need to drill the hole out to meet the model's landing gear "axle".
Conclusion
Armory's aftermarket wheels are top-notch and these will definitely look great on your 1/144 Liberator.
My thanks to Armory for supplying this set to review.
