- The Connell's Special was a B-24 captained by Arthur Rogers and was a part of the 90th Bomber Group, the Jolly Rogers in the Pacific during WWII. It was the first B-24 to not be painted in a camouflage, instead having only the aluminium showing. It was also the second B-24 to be fitted with a nose turret. Arthur Rogers was instrumental in both of these modifications. This Revell kit has been painted, fixed, and recreated to the best of my abilities (side note, this is my first model build). Another thing that I did was wire the plane in order to make it 'work'. There is a set of constant lights, a set of flashers, and a set of motors. All of these are connected to a PICAXE chip mounted in the base to control the plane.

An extraordinarily ambitious build well executed! And a personal memento of a truly remarkable man in a deeply difficult time! How astounding beyond words!
I had several of these. One I had planned to build as a Ploesti refinery raider.
Another as a Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator U.S. Navy Anti-Submarine Patrol Aircraft in the tri-colour camouflage paint scheme diving upon German D-VII U-boot, it's depth charges striking hard!
A third I would convert to a Consolidated C-87 Liberator Express USAAF Transport.
A fourth having ditched at sea, its broken nose just reaching the rocky shore of a deserted island.
Love it Zac!!!!! That is pretty cool!!! My granddad would be proud and the cigarette was sort of a hilarious touch and very appropriate!
Awesome Build
Excellent work, especially for a first time build. Congrats!
+bob dyer Thanks :). Took awhile, but almost 2 years later its still going strong.
Great job! Keep up the good work!!
Dude, that is so awesome!
Thanks :). The project actually got me started into the world of model building; since then I've done a fair number of 1/295 scale tanks, a 1/35 panzerkamphwagon 2C, and a model of the USS Arizona, all as stationary models. I may do another wired one in the future though :)
My great uncle flew 42 missions as a waste Gunner in the Jolly Rodgers
Always neat to hear of people who flew with him.
Outstanding work, Love me big heavies of WWII. You've been subbed
Thanks! Same with me - the bombers were fantastic
Nice Work!
One word...Fantastic. Fricken Awsome Job Sir.
Miller thank you
Your very welcome Sir...
awesome project mate subbed
+Faron Adams Thank you.
awesome!
Thanks
Nice job
+Dan K Thanks
What an incredible job you've done there, mate. Brilliant!
And if you don't mind me saying, you're not that old either, are you? Anybody who can apply that level of dedication and expertise at such an age will go far in life.
And I noticed a Strat in the clip as well. I bet you can already play it like Hendrix, can't you?
Top work, fella and thanks for uploading.
Thank you. Yes, at the time I started, I was 16. I had to do some sort of electrical project for an IB assessment, so I went a little overboard on this.
For a first, let me say great job. You made some minor mistakes such as using the landing wing lights as your navigatio/positiningg lights which are the red and green ones. Landing lights are clear or white. However, the electronics work was absolutely stupendous. All in all, great initial effort. One to be proud of.
i wonder what would happen if would have put the motors up to full speed? would the whole plane try to takeoff?
How good is the nose greenhouse canopy fit?
The greenhouse is, at least on mine, a good fit. I did need to file it down to get off the extras left from moulding, but that's to be expected.
not a bad first build, was it your first time using a camera too ?
Referring to the vertical orientation of the photos, or the overall quality?...
I hate revells kit for this warbird. All that detail work for interior and it's hidden . But you did do an outstanding job if I do say so myself.
Yes... I must agree with you on that. And thank you.
I did get good advice on painting a Mosquito of the USAAF as a Nightfighter. Well I'm building a Liberator of RAF Coastal Command so I want to know if I could use Testors paints, I use them for my RAF airplanes
How much did you spend on the paint?
Each vial of Tamiya paint was around £1.59. The spray paint was from Plastikote and was around £8. Now, I did go overboard when buying my paint as this was my first larger model, so I ended up with around 5-6 extra cans, but id say it was around £40 in total, maybe a bit more. However, the paint was for more projects than just this one; I have a Pz-2C and a USS Arizona that used many of the same paints.
More powerful motors and a remote control system and you could have your very own ballistic B-24
That was 13 minutes of my life I won't see again.
I will admit, not the most entertaining video... But the end result was good. And if you really need that 13 minutes, then I would say you have more important things to do than watch RUclips videos...
Get wrecked m8
poor photography
wovo64..Really Now come on....This Was fricken great who cares about the poor photography this diaroma is fantastic.
