B-24 for FSX: any opinion on best freeware or payware?

Flight Replicas

If its anything like the Halifax or the DC4/C54 its gonna be good. I think he can count me in when it comes out too.
 
856th Bomb Squadron Carpetbaggers

Here is my repaint of the Alphasim/Virtavia B-24D-120 Red Ball Express from the only two photos of her in existance after being reassigned from the 492nd BG to RAF Harrington. About 8 years or so ago I did an extensive research project on the Jedburgh Teams and the Carpetbagger aircraft that dropped them into Occupied Europe. I personally knew a team member who passed away about 20 years ago who really didn't talk much about his experiences. I found after I did this one that Jan Kees also did a repaint earlier for the Alphasim B-24 for FS9/FSX of a Carpetbagger. Didn't see it earlier because AVSIM has it in the FS9 stuff. Its not supposed to have a belly turret but I don't have a way to modify the model. Fortunately its not visible unless you want it to be. The "Red Ball Express" is shot at dawn heading back to England.
