Yep getting the B-24 to sit on it's nose gear was a pain in model form, and in real life too going by the amount of photos you'll see of the real planes with the tail skid resting on top of bits of wood or oil drums. The B-24 at the RAF Cosford museum, which we photographed for the Corgi model, has it's tail skid resting on an oil drum which provided the inspiration for including one with the model.
As for future releases for Corgi, who knows, there's been a lull in work for a few months with only one new model being prototyped and one modification of an existing model being done, but fear not some sure to be very, very popular models are being planned,though no Halifax yet, sorry. I've just got to get the go ahead and make'em!
Richard.
