- This is a brilliant new kit from Airfix. I never once was bored with building this kit. And it was really fun to build something in a unique scheme like this.

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.
Micro Mark makes one for $13.99

@@ENB1968 pretty cool imo
the outer coloring is impressiv nice.
Beautiful and educational.
Just like my old French Teacher. 😁
Was your French teacher Ms. O’rourke?
@@patrickmorley9634 Her name was Wilde.
To this day I keep wondering if she was.😌
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.
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?
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.
This is a B-25 Mitchell, you said B-24 Liberator.
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.
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.
Bought this kit a year a go. This has given me the courage to build it
Good for you Jonathan :) I hope you have as much fun with you kit as I did with this one.
After building the same kit, there is one all difference. Mine looks like a model from a 3 year old, and yours looks like one just out of the assembly line
Brilliant build and i am not very often lost for words but ,you have done it again a very outstanding build,well done mate
Amazing, a very well made model, as usual very delighted by your superb work. Keep them coming.
Very nice work
Beautiful work 👍
I love these videos make more
Thank you very much. There are many more videos like this on my channel as well as a new video coming out today or tomorrow :)
Very, very nice. Well done.👍👍
Man!, that is one impressive piece of modeling! Congratulations!
Outstanding.
I have this same model, painted in the Atlantic Wolf-pack U-boat hunters scheme.
PERFEITO !!!!!
Great work and beautiful music, too. Does anyone know what it is?
Between James Stewart and his grandkids, he would appreciate the detail absolutely. That being said he probably shy away from it, he would be afraid of it, the air Force would put him back in a 24 😉🤙🇨🇱
Great job, incidentally, who's the artist that's playing that instrumental while you're doing your work on that 25 Mitchell, if it's not too much trouble,Todd M🤔🇨🇱
Superbe travail
Bravo! 👍
Nice, but you forgot to close the gaps on the engine covers.
Do you mean on the cowlings?
@@rebelsatcloudnine Yeah above and below, but I notice that are darkened lines. sorry.
No problem :)
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!
Enjoyable build vid. My primary criticism, the person at Airfix selecting the either, or horrible decal choice included paint schemes *in so many of their current kits* needs eviscerating with a saw-back bayonet. At the Eduard Profipack price point of Airfix's new tool kit range, *that* in conjunction with their still all in one plastic bag packaging dressed up in a glam but flimsy red box which doesn't transit well in an age when etail is King, no supplied perspex or wheel masks, no PE or resin extras, exacerbated by inexcusably lazy Revellesque instructions for a product produced on the cheap in India! Pass. Not when I have to buy at considerable additional expense aftermarket decals and masks to render a model I would enjoy researching and to display. Most egregious is Airfix's cheapskate exploitation with constant reissuing in 'different dresses' copying Hasegawa's limited release marketing. I'd really really really have to want a B-25 to buy Airfix's. As someone who grew up on 1/72 Airfix, I detest what the brand has since become. Although I now build predominantly 1/48, I seldom buy the brand today when Eduard, Tamiya, Hasegawa and Zvezda, the latter at a much lower price point are are so much better. When it comes to spending my $$ in the B game, I prefer the superior value of Revell's licenced dual decal version reboxings of extant Hasegawa and Eduard mould offerings to Airfix. Just not a fan in 2020.
BEAUTIFUL Model, BEAUTIFUL Music, AMAZING Detail !! Thoroughly enjoyed viewing!!
Between the music and your skill at this art, I'm breathless and awed. Beautiful just beautiful.
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.
Amazing....not a fingerprint in sight. Seriously you have done a marvellous job.
There's one giant thumbprint.... on the inside of the bomb bay, just so I can have a jinx free build :D
You're a craftsman. So much detail in the making. It looks great.
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. :)
How did your Marauder build go Rob?
My favorite aircraft bomber of all time too. ❤😊🎉🤩☺️🤗
My father flew the B25 during the war. Your care in building this beautiful B25 and the music remind me of him and the few stories that he told. Thank you.
The amount of details is impressive..you really did a great job 👍👌
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.
Very watchable and enjoyable video. Amazing work on the build from the music score to the end result beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
R.T.I.D.F.T.P.G.S.T.Q. CHEERIE'O DADDY'O
Amazing work! Your kit looks great :)
Thank you MM, I'm glad that I've finally got it done.
What am I supposed to tell?
I'm sorry I really don't understand. "they need help" as in what? What is me mentioning the group going to do? I'm just trying to understand this all.
But what do they need help with?
Just tell your viewers about the group please.
Beautiful, Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL model well done! I'm currently in the process of starting to build a B-25J kit I've had since Christmas, idk why I put it away, but watching your well done video on you making your model has given me the inspiration to start on mine, keep up the good, no........amazing work!
Thank you very much, and best of luck with your B-25 :)
Smashing job. Trust me to view this video and find out about the SAC cockpit parts cum nose ballast after assembling the Airfix components!
@rebelsatcloudnine - when I was your age there were Monogram and Revell. My brother did the WW11 bombers and fighters - I avoided the bombers as they overwhelmed me in their infinite detail. I guess a Canadian Trekker has the detachment (if one is a perfectionist then keep them away from the kits as they will go mad!) and concentration and experience and skill to go with the big birds. Monogram had accurate detail - rivets'n'stuff however Revell did planes like the Me262 and others I couldn't find in the books - they did planes that were classified at the time! Monogram's choices of planes was a laundry list of popularity - P-51, Spit, Corsair and the like and rarely an unknown craft. Revell even, decades after my modeling, made the Bob Lazar reverse engineered "Sports Model" of E.T. craft right from Bob's own drawings. To commit to such a choice was to invite shadow government investigation, I'm not making this up. MIBs visiting certain employees of Revell and the whole bit. Your B-25 is gorgeous - bound for Africa? I'm not reading the map so up close. Looks like desert camo. Aloha.
I've been building models since I was seven years old and I'm kind a like you I prefer it to look like it's brand new like it just came out of the factory as opposed to all those dark lines and weathering this and that that makes look old and horrible I want mine to look like it just came off the showroom floor
Truly an outstanding job AND a sincere love of history and how things were. Excellent!
"...and don't forget General Dreadle wants to see a nice, tight bombing pattern on those areal photographs."
,airfix, здорово добавил в плане детализации моделей...Жаль что перевыпуски моделей 60 - х годов не снабжают дополнительными литниками с дополнериями..
Incredible work on that model. The detail you put into it is amazing. You are a true artist. Thanks for the inspiration to get back into model building.
The stupid thing about painting models is that you paint the insides you can't see once glued together.
Fantastic! One of the best I’ve seen on RUclips. You certainly do amazing work. Thank you for sharing!
A very nice build. Does the sac conversions stuff help with the nose weight?
It helped a bit, it was actually more helpful to have the metal landing gear to support all the extra lead weight that I added. So I would say that it's a good value. But sadly not heavy enough to only use.
Fantastic build!! Every single detail and process of this build is amazing! Keep up the good work!! :)
everything is just great about this build which I just acquired but I am finging that it is all just too close and needs to pull back a touch. It also jumps and I don't get to see how you put it all together. great thanks for sharing.
Did you purchase mask for windows and other clear parts or mask them yourself?, If purchased where from and supplier?. keep up your amazing channel .✌Canada✌
Thanks James :) The windows for this kit were all masked by myself using Tamiya tape.
With all the praise from the comments, I'm going to have to throw a monkey wrench into the mix. Are the flying stars affixed backwards? The blue looks so washed out. Prety cool love the oil and exhaust stains.
You mean the insignia stars? No they are in the correct position. And they are bleached out, why? I don't know they just came like that in the kit.
Loved the music. Pretty relaxing.
How did you manage to keep the nose down on this kit. I built the same one (alternate markings) , filled the nose gear bay with shot, and ball bearings in the bomb-aimers crawlspace, and its still a tail sitter. Ended up with a bit of perspex rod to keep it up. Thinking about doing the Doolittle raid version, but not if i can't get it to sit.
Yeah I crammed a lot in it, and it barely sits on it's nose. I added extra weights behind the firewalls in engine nacelles. It's very heavy, but the design of the B-25 it needs a lot of weight.
God damn it Jared I told myself I would’nt get any more kits this side of Christmas! And then you got show us this. Shame on you. Great little build and result though, now where’s my Amazon account. Dave.
ha ha :) My apologies to your wallet Dave, and thanks for the comment :)
what gloss coat did you use to protect the latex yellow desert against the enamel wash (testors rubber) then wiping it off with mineral spirits? To bring out the panel lines? Or did you use one??
I either used Future/Klear, or Tamiya Clear X-22, I can't quite remember.
Very nicely done - Mine hit the bench only yesterday and already decided to get m'self another !!
Best from NZ.
仕上げが美しいです。私も制作中なので、かなり参考になりました。
Beautiful work!!!
Am from México City!!
was that wòod glue ? on the front and rear cockpits
Did you have to put weights in the nose
Yes, there is quite a bit of weight in this model.
@@rebelsatcloudnine ok thanks
Looks awesome, I’m getting close to finishing this same one
Correct me if iam wrong, but those wings dont need glueing to the fuselage right, just slide thru would be an option as well?
Sure you can do that. But cementing the top wing creates a more secure bond to the braces.
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...............
Wow... You mastered once again! Simply beautiful model building with precision and beautiful BGM. But you didn't sock the model in the soapy water this time...
amazing build and Video too. the music is very good. i like your job 👍👍
Beautiful kit brought to life with your skills. You sir are a Jedi knight of model building.
Wow, thanks for that Ron :D How are you doing?
@@rebelsatcloudnine I'm fine thanks. I'm working on a airfix 1/72 Bristol Blenheim mk1 at the moment. It's a nice little kit except for the 3piece canopy. Hope you and your family are well?
looked this video up before I began building a N A B-25 Mitchell Mk II, the RAF counterpart to this USAAC version.
excellent
A very good kit and a well built model. One of the points that's not so good in my opinion are the broad panel lines, which are far from realistic. You enhance this fault even further by painting these grooves in a dark color.
Building the italeri but this looks so much better.
Will be added to stash.
This was a very fun kit to build, I'm sad that Airfix hasn't made any more of the later versions of the B-25.
Nice kit in 1/72 scale. I have just built a B-25 C/D kit in 1/48 scale by Academy. That’s another good kit.
What skill level this is? Great build
I was thinking RC when I saw that. I actually have an RC plane not much bigger than that. I havent flown it yet. I was amazed they made anything that small thatI can fly. The only reason I havent flown it just yet is lack of space. Once I get it together, I dont have room to hang it. My collage age Daughter came home and is taking up my hobby room.
Hi from Barcelona !! you're really a great modelist, very good and instructive job ... by the way, could you please tell me the name of this great selected chill out musik ? thank you and look forward for new stuff.
Thank you Josep, the music is in the video description
@@rebelsatcloudnine Thank you
They should have added another set of tires that were compressed under the wait of the aircraft.
Those are weighted tires, maybe not the best, but they are weighted.
NICE Build, any problems to look out for during the build???
Getting ready to start building one for a local Museum in my hometown.
Wow that's really cool congratz on that :) Nothing that really comes to mind, the plugs for the props are wobbly and need reinforcing. And not a fault of the kit but an issue with the B-25 in general is that it needs a lot of weight to stay on it's nose.
"Thanks" for the information, I will keep that in mind.
Loved the build. Was hoping for Canadian insignias but really liked the desert colors for this. TY.
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.
@@rebelsatcloudnine Good info. TY.
Hey rebelsatcloudnine I released a Halloween video of me touring a haunted house will you watch it later and comment your thoughts?
Excelente video desde Chile abrazo me encanta los aviones el aeromodelismo gran trabajo 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Hiya what name and make is the air brush and what air compresser is it please great build very tidy I've just started this hobby at 44 years old I've done the American p50 and doing this as my 2nd build but unsure if the kit I need I've got the basic tools and matt ect I hope to one day be able to build at least half as good as yourself one day.... All the best from East Midlands United Kingdom
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.
@@rebelsatcloudnine thanks mate I got a cheap one from amazon I guess it's an OK 1 I can cut my teeth on it without it costing on arm an a leg cheers chappie. Im loving your videos and I'm getting a feel for it all now I hope to do a diarorna soon we'll within next few months once again thanks for all the very valuable information god I rember hsvi g to buy magazines and visit the library bk in my day hooray for RUclips
@@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. If I can offer any advice on that subject it's to try and not get frustrated by the airbrush, they take a while to get the hang of, but once you do the world is yours :)
Well, that's it - I'm never building another model.
Same
Okay lets start fresh here. I apologize for typing caps and offending you. Life is too short to make enemies.Thank You for giving me the info on the display base as it really shows off your model beautifully. One question if I may? Did you use a gloss varnish before you did your wash? It looks terrific.
Agreed, I mistook your post as hostile and I clearly overreacted. Yes, I coated it in a few layers of Future Floor Polish. I know many modelers see Future as a silly way to get a gloss coat, but I apply it with a brush and I'm pretty pleased with the end result. Often I'll keep glossing the model as Future is a really thin layer I'm not worried about build up. I'll glossed it before and after the decals and again when the enamel wash was laid down.
@@rebelsatcloudnine Thank You, and I am glad we are friends!
Me too, and hey if typing in caps is your thing you be you. I'm going to be more chilled with things in the future.
Absolutely superb build and meticulous detailing thanks you for sharing I learnt a lot. I like the way you describe you videos not too much but just enough again many thanks.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that hobby.
Awesome..thanks 👍🇳🇿
Is that Skyrim music?
Using a brush on primer with an airbrush...
God-damn why didnt i think of that before
I thin it with Vallejo thinner, it's the only one that works. It's really nice to spray, at about a 60-40 mix.
@@rebelsatcloudnine I have a question.
I usually do 1/48 scale airfix and eduard but i want to move onto 1/24 scale. Is is a big leap with loads of parts and fiddly detail or should i jump it
Куда дел наклейку с правого крыла ??? Пребал ??
The tamiya decal advise is good for airfix decals?
Yes it works well on all decal types, not just for Tamiya.
great work man, my only criticism would be that where the decals cross a panel line then the panel line needs bringing out ?
Beautiful work... very relaxing video too! BTW, I am so glad that you didn't add chipping to the propellers. Modelers keep doing that all the time, but in the real world, chipped props blades were replaced or repaired instantly as they would otherwise be dangerous to fly with.
Really nice work I would put a small fan just in front blowing the props so they looked they were turning
Beautiful. Thanks.
Feliz año 2020 desde Chile y gran trabajo felicidades 👍👍
Subbed already, love your details
Are you do car to ??
I've only done a few, I'm not good at them yet, but I'd like to keep trying.
Im excited to know that
Hope to see your upload notification soon !
Say flat flesh 5 times fast - nice build man!
Flat flesh, flat flesh, flat flesh, flah fleah, flab, flest..... dang it!
That was very entertaining! Reminded me of the movie Catch 22. I could see Rosarian in the nose of your model asking where his parachute is 😳 I’ve got a few questions though. #1.Is this airplane currently in a museum? The nose art kinda reminds me of the history of a B25 and it’s exploits in North Africa during WWII with it citations listed. #2. Why is a British tail flash on the vertical stabs? Is there an American version that uses that kind of identification? #3. What did you do to make it NOT be a tail sitter? The real-estate is at a premium in that nose. And #4. What was that tool you used applying the tail gunners glass? Does it use vacuum? If so, I need one of those! Beautiful job!👍🏼
"Where the hell is my parachute"?
1. Not that I'm aware of. This B-25 was similar to the B-17 Memphis Belle as it was the first to finish its tour of duty. The map on the nose was to show the locations that were bombed.
2. I believe that this was because it was when the U.S first joined in one the war. They were fighting alongside the British at this point and being shot down. So the solution was to add Canadian radio operators to the U.S crews. These Canadians in the RCAF would guide the American pilots around the British locations so that they wouldn't get shot at.
3. Aside from the Scale Aircraft Conversions white metal set, I added a lot of weight to behind the cockpit, and they still wasn't enough so I had to add more behind the firewalls in the nacelles.
4. I can't remember what that thing is called but yeah it's a little suction cup tool. Basically like a pipette, I don't use it that much but when I do I really need it so I'm glad that I bought it.
Good job! A nice kit in 1/72 scale. 👍
If you’re looking for a good B-25 C/D kit in 1/48 scale, get the Academy kit. They made the “Doolittle Raider” version and also the “Pacific Theater” strafer gun nose version. I built both of them. Great kits too. 👍
I'd love to grab that kit one day, especially the gun nose version, it looks like a really fun kit :D
Trop rapide au début
這種模型 我還沒做過！理由 太沒細結！也太簡單了！（ 小比例！）
Excellent model, well done! And I have two questions, I hope someone responds. Wouldn't mineral spirits take off any of the paint when removing the wash with a brush? And, after the decals are applied would it make sense to use a knife to scribe along the panel lines instead of having the decals sit right on top? I've always wondered about my second question.
No, because the Mineral Spirits is only reacting to the oil paints. It can take off acrylic if you are really aggressive with the Spirits. I used a good gloss coat before the oils to protect the surface layer. That's what I did to the decals after they had settled onto the model. I took a new knife and cut the decals in the panel lines, then I added more decal solvents to help the new edges conform to the surface.
excellent video
