At 17:22 I've been asked what the tool is called and I've sadly forgotten. It's called a "Model Pal", and no I don't know where you buy one, sorry.

Beautiful craftsmanship! This build video was an absolute joy to watch with all the fine detail work that you did and the perfect music to compliment it!

Thank you for showing me how good these aeroplanes look. I have a cannon version that is hidden in my stash. I also have a Monogram kit finished in the '80's that is only as good as that kit was out of the box. Your work has just shortlisted my next Summer's cottage effort.

Loved the build. Was hoping for Canadian insignias but really liked the desert colors for this. TY.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

Well if its any consolation the radio operators on these B-25's were RCAF. Since the U.S were new to the area Canadians flew with them to tell the British that they were friendly. That's the main reason why I chose this scheme.

[@charlesmiddleton3247]

As a kid growing up in the 60's, we never had much. But, now and then I would get a model car or plane. Man, I cherished those moments! Taking the time to read the directions, patiently putting it all together and marvelling at its design. Only to have my younger brother eventually get a hold of it and pull parts off it or destroy it completely. You talk about someone going ballistic...............

[@danielbritton8588]

My favorite aircraft of all time. It seems like living through magic during every build. Got an HK in the wings. I picked up an extra set of Proteus figures from Jimmy Flintstone to alter as crew for the plane in flight. Nice build & job you did with yours. I like this very much.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

No, there were a few times I just had enough of the kit and I wanted it to just be done so I could work on a few other projects. Since this was a summer build I didn't have all the time to dedicate to this so I'd get distracted by real life.

Stunning model.... Your eye for detail puts the rest of us to shame yet again!! :) Had a chance to buy this kit when I went to Clacton yesterday as they had it on the shelf in the hobby shop, but I ended up with the Airfix 1/48 Bolton Paul Defiant NF.I 'Night Fighter' kit instead. I have the OLD tool Airfix Mitchell though, and also the kit that Revell issued a few years ago now, which up until now was one of the best Mitchell kits on the market.. until Airfix released this. :)

[@scotthaddad563]

Beautiful work on a very sexy plane! My dad was nose gunner in a B-24 during World War II and second radio man. His plane had a mouse throwing a bomb on the nose. It was called Super Mouse! There were a lot of planes adorned with naughty nose art as well. I have many photographs of nose art that my dad took during the war.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

That is really cool Scott. It's always fun to see comments like yours from people who have connections like this to aircraft. If I ever find the Hasegawa 1:72 B-24 for a good price, I think I'll consider making it the Supermouse. Since he was the nose gunner, I assume this was the B-24J variant?

[@scotthaddad563]

rebelsatcloudnine I’m not sure of the exact variation of the plane but I believe that he mentioned that there were twin fifties in the nose which is different that the model shown here.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

This is a B-25 Mitchell, you said B-24 Liberator.

[@scotthaddad563]

Wow. How could I watch this whole video and not notice that this is a B-25? I must be getting old not to notice the absence of two more engines and totally ignore the description. I just watched your video on the Lancaster at the Museum and couldn’t help but notice the similarity to the B-24.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

No worries Scott, it happens. I've been working on and off again on a few Lancaster models so stay tuned for those in the future.

[@alstokesveteranfilmmaker913]

Puts me in mind of the 1/72 Airfix B.25 I made (back 1968) based on the Psychedelic Monster - which was the 'form up' camera plane Spitfire Productions used on the (real world) filming of "Battle of Britain." They used the most lurid colour scheme they could think of and matching their colours was a right mission. Why? Because my father was a technician on the picture at Duxford (or North Wield) and he showed me a picture of their B.25. Wild. Your version is undoubtedly better but your vid' dragged up that long ago memory. Well done, Sir!

[@martinradcliffe4798]

[@mtaylor44]

Excellent build! I always look forward to your build videos and have enjoyed every one of them. This kit is on my want list and I am glad to see it is a new mold Airfix kit (unlike the re-release of their old B-26 kit). In the past, I used to avoid Airfix kits, but the new kits are fantastic and great value. This looks like another well-engineered kit, but I do not like the marking choices that Airfix made. There were so many other aircraft/squadrons to choose from. Since most served in the Pacific at least one of the choices should have been from that theater. I will look for some aftermarket decals to replace them.

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

Thank you very much Michael :D I agree completely, the schemes are a bummer. Although this "Desert Warrior" is interesting, I really wish they would have made the B variant (parts for that are included) and had a Dolittle raider or something. These options just don't really grab ones attention.

Thanks Steve :D If you were to get into this scale I agree this is a kit worth owning and building. It was a very rewarding build. The only real downside is that it requires a lot of weight to keep the nose down.

[@Drewsmodels]

rebelsatcloudnine did you use a varnish to protect the finish from the mineral spirits/wash?

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

It's just a few layers of Future/Klear given at 24-48 hours to properly cure and harden. I know a lot of modelers are opposed to using it, but I think that it does it's job for what I need.

[@Drewsmodels]

It's like any other product in modeling, many swear by it...many swear at it. I have some, but need to practice shooting it with my airbrush. Tried once and got some "pooling". A lot of great modelers, like you, use it! Have a good weekend! Drew

All the best from East Midlands United Kingdom

[@rebelsatcloudnine]

Thank you Duncan, and greetings from Alberta Canada :) I use a Tamiya HG Superfine III, but for a beginner airbrush there's nothing better than an Iwata NEO CN. This was the first airbrush that I used, and it lasted really well for it's 5-year warranty. I like it because it's a very new user friendly without being overly complicated as some more high-end brushes tend to be. And you can get some really great results with it. I don't know the manufacturer of my compressor, on the other hand, it's a simple generic (and noisy) compressor. It shoots about 25 PSI so that's basically all that I need, I have a control on it for less air.

@@duncankent1330 That's a really good point, as a lot of learning to airbrush is trail and error, and that includes maintenance of the airbrush.
