Popular Post Effik Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hello i fairly recently finished this beast. Of course our know suspect is B-24J from bobby boss in 1/32 I used Eduard interior and seat belts PE set and resin wheel, Quick boost proppellers, montech propeller decals and DN models mask set. Kit wasnt that hard to build, lots of dry fitting helped along saly even tho i ommited 90% of rear interior 350g of nose weight erent enough to hold it so i had to use leg to support it in my first attemt then i made some simple diorama stand fot it and glued wires to the wheels and made a hook in fron tone to latch it in place. Personaly i know abaut the wing issue but decided not to get bothered with it and just enjoy the fact i have one of a kind models in my collection. The model comes in four parts, well rather 7 if we count each propeller invidually as i intend to take it to modeling convections and already did! Wing and fulseage are separate and then the proppelers come off. Really challenging was painting the model but it was easier since the wing are removable, dots, roundels, numberts etc were easy, but sharkmout was challenging in the end some brush paint tuch ups were neccesary especially since this "camofluage" was used on H not on J so the chin glass it bit different and lover jaw was 4mm short of the glass so some artistic freedom was used. Hope you guysl like it! Is this some mummy movie reference i am missing? Mentioned gap on charkmouth due to different chin glass After the hand paint correction The mentioned "diorama base" Gazzas, Hrvoje, mywifehatesmodels and 50 others 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job and welcome aboard. Cheers...Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Love it, cant beat an assembly ship and really nice finish! Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jboldt007 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Assembly patterns are so crazy it's great to see someone do one! The "clown dots" are the best. fantastic work and certainly a conversation piece for people who look at it go "what the ...? I..." I have the B-24D which reminds me i need to finish it. The Hobby Boss B-24 is a mixed blessing but few others would do this beast at this scale and at least it fits together despite all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the D planned, and maybe ill do 3rd lib or event 4th as i like the Little Gramper and Tubarao. I had to make a little introduction text along with some photos to put near the model as i had too many question as to what substance i was abusing at the time. Cheers!

Yep, been there, done that, know exactly how that feels. I've done this one in 1/72 (many years ago now) and "Green Dragon" from the 389th in 1/48. Great fun and yes, some photos near the model usually convince the unbelievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christa Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Lovely job, very attractive. First time I saw an assembly ship modelled was in How To Build Dioramas by Sheperd Paine. It was also a B 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
