Hi Matt. Nice finish and nice weathering. The decals add a nice bit of colour as well. I enjoyed looking at your albums. You do go for the bigger birds!

Many Thanks Alan. I used to build 1/32 exclusively - but these 1/48 bombers are just as big!

I too thought that this is perhaps the best and certainly among the best stand off builds of this kit I ve seen in the nearly 40 years of the mold.

Impressive giant! Colors, shading and weathering are absolutely convincing.

Album info

This is my latest build. I build terribly slow (too many other hobbies to distract me) But I started this last fall and then put it away for a couple of months only two start up and finish about 4 weeks ago. Classic Monogram B-24 with a Koster rear turret, a mix Kitsword and superscale decals, Squadron canopy, EZ line rigging (That stuff is amazing!), and an unbelievable amount of fish weight in the nose to make it sit properly. Paint is a custom mix of model master for the "pinkish tan". Oil wash. I still need to paint the formation lights. If you see anything else - let me know!

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - it always turns out to be hard to take photos of completed builds - you always see more things wrong than with the naked eye. Oh well. I probably will not do another 1/48 B-24 as the warping and fit was pretty bad on this release. Next up is a 1/48 Black Cat Catalina!
