Hi. Absolutely love the B-24! Watched the video on youtube and can't wait ...
.
The B-24 does, however, definitely have differential brakes. The castoring nosewheel (offhand, I can't think of a single WW2 combat plane with a steerable nosewheel - lol) only travels 45 degrees left and right which precludes pivoting on a mainwheel, yet in the B-24 training film they demonstrate mainwheel pivoting showing how it drags the nosewheel across the ground thereby excessively wearing not just the main tire but the nose tire as well and so shouldn't be done ... like they just did (must've been my dad
).
Check out the diagram here:

Only two more weeks -- wooot!
