Nice mug. Nice model. The Doolittle planes were beat. Because the planes they trained with were used on the raid and with low level flying over Florida and Texas the winds took their toll. I have several color photos taken on the flight from Eglin to Sacramento to get new props and final modifications and the photos show the these planes were not hanger queens by any means. Lastly, 18 days on the Hornet with gale force winds and water over the deck at times did not help either. It really is amazing that they all took off and completed the raid.

Is there a way that you could post these pictures??? I live down the road from where they trained here in the panhandle of Florida. TIA!

Great Job Sean, very realistic finish, really like the pigment on the exhausts, I’ll put that one in the modelling bank and give it a try sometime 👍👏👏

Good job mate…I was looking forward to the completion video..wasn’t let down..the OD paint work looks real good…pity I’m in OZ I would have chucked a bid in!

Quite the endeavor. Good work as always. If I sold on ebay I would have the item all ready to go like you do. It would be just kits though. I build for me & I am pretty sure many scoffs would come from others over what I deem display worthy. Those Doolittle bombers were pretty plain Jane in 42'. I have a 1/72 scale B-25B, A 1/700 scale Hornet with the raiders on deck & the G.I. Joe knock off of Col. Jimmy Doolittle. Plus the book, 30 seconds over Tokyo. I wish Doolittle was mint in box but, I bought him used off ebay.

I am about to experiment with a different approach to weathering from what I have done in the past. Previously, I would preshade or black base, then apply thinned base colors , followed up by lightened versions of the base colors to perform the fading. I would follow it up with some oil paint in limited amounts. This looks okay, but, it still felt like there was not enough control. This time around, I am going to paint only the base colors (without preshading or blackbasing - primer only), and I am going to rely entirely on oil paint weathering. Your results with the Olive Drab weathering appear to bear out this approach and I feel like it is going to give me the control I am after. I expect that it will take longer since the panel by panel approach is probably the best way to go about this. The part you mentioned about it taking several days and how you do some, then let it set and come back to it, fits into my own normal building / painting / weathering cycle. I think the main thing will be to have a good way to protect the model during the process, (from dust and such), until the flat coat can be applied. Perhaps even apply a flat coat to the upper (or lower) surface after oil weathering before moving to the other surface. This way I can avoid messing up already weathered areas that may have not entirely dried yet. Thanks for sharing your technique. BTW, the Model Airplane Maker and Scale Modeling Cafe KZbin channels both have good approaches to exhaust finishing / weathering.

Your weathering is ultra realistic as usual, stunning paint job!

Looks the part. I built the Revell-Monogram B-25J, in bare metal for a friend who flies one. B-25B is a different airplane with a great story.

Dare you do a Wingnut German DFW or other cool German WWI aircraft? Maybe a Hansa Brandenburg W12? Or a Friedrichshafen FF33? They have a Curtiss Jenny as well. Also a really cool Bf 110 G night fighter would be epic.

I’ve done a few wingnuts…they’re kind of pricey now so I doubt I’ll be doing one soon

I see you utilize a lot of “wax on, wax off” technology! Keep up the great work! Also, do you recommend the grape water? I was looking to change up my water routine.
