I really hate to say this, but Aluminum does not rust. Even the rivets were Aluminum. How I know this is because I'm involved with the restoration of a B24 down here in Australia
Yes I know!! It just gave it great color a difference and I had just bought the tank rust kit and couldn't wait to use it
😂😅😂😅
Fair comment but, aluminium where the paint has worn off would oxidise and be matt, not shiny
Light gray would be the color of “rusted” aluminum. I’m not aware of anything like nickel in the aluminum to prevent oxidation.
My dad flew the D and the J in combat. I should probably start working on one of the twenty five unbuilt in my collection. GREAT JOB, it's gorgeous.
That was a absolutely outstanding build sir, you really have done justice to this great aircraft, well done my friend, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.👍👍
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it hopfully im not the only one able to build this great kit!!
You have done a superb job on the B24, I especially like your weathering technique. I am impressed that you didn't break off any aerials or guns off during the build.
I've been building exactly the same kit for a while now but I've been converting this kit into an RAF Mk 3a Liberator, in honour of my great uncle who served with the RNZAF during WW2, he was the bombing leader for 224 squadron RAF Coastal Command.
He together with five other crew members lost his life in a flying accident on 30th Oct 1942. (He was an Observer on the aircraft, FK242 squadron letter 'K'). On that day only the tail gunner survived the rest of the crew perished after their aircraft encountered fuel problems and hit a couple of barrage balloon cables whilst attempting an emergency landing.
The Liberator Mk 3a they were in was fitted with the then top secret ASV radar in a chin fairing (it earned the nickname Dumbo).
At that time the Mk 3a was part of the lend lease scheme operated between GB and the USA and it retained all its American arnament but had an RAF colour scheme.
I've found this Revell kit to be very frustrating, I'm not a fan of all the raised panel lines or the poorly fitting parts, including lines in the clear parts but I hope to finish it soon. To be honest it's put me off buying any Revell kits in the future because the quality is not very good.
FYI, I've been paintng it with enamels and have just finished all the interiors. I'm showing the bomb bays open with 8 x 250lb depth charges fitted to the pylons. I'm just about to make a start on the exterior.
I don't have your patience or skill so it won't be as good as your model but it will be good for me to finish it.....
I love this story!! Thank you so much. This is literally the reason i model so thank you for sharing that with me!
Those turned out really good.
I wish they still made this kit
They do revell now sells it in 1/48
amazing build. Great job. I appreciatethe tips
Absolutely great looking model, and lots of sweet tips on how to do it :)
Some have commented on the rust, but what really catches my eye is the wing leading edges.
You weathered those like chipped metal, but in reality they are rubber de-icing boots, which inflate/deflate to pop off any ice buildup on the wings.
They may have some discoloration within the black notes, but never metal chipping.
Outstanding finish.
Thank you!
Beautiful work my friend! The results are why we love this hobby, fantastic wirk!
Thank you very much!
GREAT BUILD!
I've just started getting back into model building and this is such a great build.
Well done. I love it
And i love your enthusiasm!
Awesome! Thank you! Model on!!
Revell’s kits were never really good except for their bombers. The B17 through B29 were always pretty good. I wish they would upgrade the molds and re-release them. The foundations are there to have great kits that can give the modern kits a run for their money.
They had plenty of good aircraft kits. Their century series was great. Yes, at times they were a bit complicated to build but pretty accurate
Originally they were Monagram molds. When the B17G came out it was a revolution!
@@jerrymccrae7202 it’s also an old kit b 17 b25 b24 b26 c47 and they good kits the Monagram ones and many more that I have that they don’t make any more .
Super Nice Build I'm currently working on my B-24 you gave me great tips thanks
Glad I could help
just came across this video. i have one in my stash, it kind of intimidates me. thanks for the video
It intimidated me too, but really simple to be honest. It's just like any other plane just 2 feet longer lol
nice work. thank you for the video.
Hello mr. Resmo!and again you deliver fun excitenes and Inspiration and knowledge.an awesome job you did building and painting and weathering that one of a kind jewel. I love your work and i really apreciate your efforts creating contentent for modellmates like i am.i like your narration.with best regards and sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg/germany.your fellow modellmate.christian.

Sweet build my friend, looks great!!¡
They look awesome!!! But to be honest, I'll build everything in the box, if just to sit next to!!!!!!! BTW, that aluminum foil trick, is amazing!!!!!!!!!
Looks good. Still trying to snag one of the 1/32 scale hobby boss B24D so I could build a replica of the one a cousin of mine flew in the Pacific with the jolly Rogers bomb group.
Nice!!
My Father-in-law was a pilot on the D model in the Pacific during WWII he flew with the 868th BS ( Snoopers) I've built a couple of the J's and D model and am trying to get a full shot of the SB-24-J which is the unofficial Model of these special built radar equipped. I've acquired 3-4 of the Monograms (some are parts planes) and am now waiting to purchase the new Hobbyboss B-24J that are supposed to be superior to the old kits from Monogram we'll see. any way your video is excellent and I'll keep it for reference. Thanks for sharing.
I'm about to build the hobby boss b24 so I'll have an even better reference for you!
This chromate green is what we call etch primer. This was a way to quickly anodize the aluminium and give a good secure surface for other paint surfaces. The etch primer is really difficult to remove and in my experience stays behind when th top layer of paint is chipped or removed.
Iv actually tried removing this primer before and it's literally impossible!!! Thanks for the info!! Model on!
Superb built and great experimentations. Results are excellent. The aluminum foil looks stunning. What type of Vallejo black primer did you use? If you use the polyurethane one it will always give you problems if you use water to thin it. My suggestion is to use isopropyl alcohol for thinning. It works well on Vallejo colors (but also with Ammo Mig and AK), my go to colors.
I had no idea!!!! Thank you so much im ordering some right now!!
@@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379 you are welcome! I also suggest to conduct some test on dilution ratio before spraying. Depending on the pigment content in each color, you need more alcohol or less. Start with a 1:1 ratio and see if you have problems. Isopropyl alcohol is also excellent for cleaning your airbrush, but remember to do a final rinse with water. Ciao!
The only affordable kit for this plane I could find is the Atlantis (LOTS of work to do with it) and I'm almost done, going with the blacked out scheme from Operation Carpetbagger. Going to give it to a guy I met a couple months ago who was a tailgunner on one in those missions. Hopefully I can recreate his plane good enough!
I hope he's happy with it!
That's awesome man! Thanks for sharing. Post a picture of it I'd love to see it
Awesome build. Looks so fantastic.
Thanks a bunch!
I’m building one of these right now. And because I’m a masochist who doesn’t think things through, I also got the Eduard bomb bay and interior PE sets (God help me).
I’m actually not a fan of the interior, having been inside the Collings Foundation’s B-24. The Revell B-17 does a much better job of representing the interior. However, the Revell kid does accept the aftermarket corrections pretty easily without having to cut out much.
All things considered, and given that it was tooled in the 70s, it’s still a pretty decent kit, and the outside actually looks like a B-24 (which is more than you can say about the new Hobby Boss kit, from what I hear). You will get out of this kit what you put into it. Not perfect, but worth the time and money!
Definatly!
9:46 the classic Revell/Monogram ground crew got a makeover!
First time I've seen aluminium rust!
Hahah I never thought of that!! Ohh man! Well it did hive it some really nice color differences which looks great. But your totally right!!🤣
Nor have I seen rubber de-icer boots chip!
Looks really good my Man👍👌🤘
thanks for posting. it is very relaxing. 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
These look like a repop from a 70's era Monogram kit. I've built these when they first came out.
Yes they are. Honestly not bad kits. But, there's a better b24 out there now days
do you think it would it be possible to do an entire hull in the aluminum foil?
I'm new to model building. I have a question or 2 to everyone, is there any web sites that you purchase from other than AMAZON or EBAY, Thanks Garry
I love using hobblinc.com. they are the best have great models and packaging is superb

Thank you so much I hope you enjoy all my videos tips and tricks!
38:20 music is far too loud to make out what you're saying.
The little "tank" is an ordinance tractor. ;)
The beat at 39:00 hits different in AirPods I love it 😂
Thanks for watching!!
I've been out of building for a while. Judging for several videos I have seen on Utube, I guess I missed it aluminum started to rust.
Great job, one little piece of advise, when editing check your background music volume level. When you where doing the camo the music drowned out your narration and spoiled the video. Apart from this I really enjoyed your presentation.
Sorry about that. I'm definatly trying to up my game on editing! Thanks for watching and model on!
Great video and build.
I believe there were 2 chromate colours used on US aircraft, green chromate and yellow chromate, one was for internal fuselage and the green for things like wheel wells etc. I always just thought it was all the same...very confusing. Nice job by the way, I too have a soft spot for the B24.
Yup your absolutly correct, there were 2 different ones. Some aircraft were made different. I just try to make it as contrast as possible for a realistic effect. Model on!!
It's Re-Vell
What? Do not remember making this comment . Sorry
Great craftsmanship. However, unlike tanks and ships, aircraft skin doesn't rust. Instead the paint chips, oxidizes, and fades, which causes all those interesting color variations!
On the metal areas, try HVAC tape. It works surprisingly well!
i love ww2 bombers but where do you store that thing in 1/48????
A giant box lol
@@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379 as i predicted... lol
looks like a monogram kit ?
What’s with the black gloves?
To keep the model clean from sweaty, oily hands.
Do you know if this is a Ford built Liberator?
I actually don't know!
Nice build 👍
Thanks 👍
Aluminium doesn't rust ?
Lol. I totally understand. Lol. I can't wait to build a better kit to redeem myself lol
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your spider webbing is caused by too high of air pressure for the distance. To do detail work I’m usually at 8psi with a 80/20 thinner to paint ratio.
Nice work though. Like your channel, I build a lot of older Revell’s and alway check out your builds before I start
Good stuff. Keep it up
Looks like you put the bomb racks in backwards 😂😂
Wellll.... it's a little late now isn't it??? Hahahahahaha
Well done! nice work ...Sub'd!
Hobby Boss have a B24 coming out soon. Mine will have its bombs because a bomber without bombs isn't really a bomber anymore. It's just a flying coffin. 😂😂
Not making them to me is just plain lazy. 😢😢😢
Painting figures is a learning experience. When you have mastered the skill (I haven't yet), the satisfaction must be strong. 😊😊😊
What's up with the gloves?
It just looks cleaner on the camera
I hate to be knit picky...but the ladder door opens to the inside to prevent it slamming on someone in case of a bailout...also the deicer boots were rubber and would not have chips taken out of them...a dull rubber due to weathering would be the only thing..sorry to be a rivet counter but it adds to the authenticity of the actual aircraft...yes I have built both the D and J versions of this kit...fun builds overall but poor fit in some areas...
es una peça ex-MONOGRAM, sempre molt bones
Opps! My father-in-law flew a J model not a D the SB-24-J's were all that the 868th flew to my knowledge.
The tow vehicle was called a Cletrac...
Monogram kits are fun builds just need a little more attention to bring out the potential!🤔
Jman
Armas una maqueta con guantes ?? Porque ??..
That is to make sure no sweat, bodily oils etc. are deposited on the model. Paint doesn't stick well to dirty surfaces. Before putting the first layer of paint on a part, you can also wash that part with a bit of soapy water. There are many techniques.
49:48 i did…
ET LES PILOTES ?
I haven't built any pilots in any of my builds yet. But eventually I will
You do realize that aluminum doesn't rust. Where it oxidizes it turns grey. There is very little steel used in aircraft, and absolutely no iron!!!
A litle advice. Next time try to use gloves that fit your hands. They will be much more usefull than the othes you used in this video.
So true!! I think I will grab a smaller size for sure!
I got the decals for “Strawberry Bitch” in a desert pink color can’t wait to build it
So nice. That would be something I would build for my wife!! Haha
❤❤❤ ⚘️🌷⚘️🙏🙏😊😊😊👍👍👍
Horrible......
B-24s don’t rust cause the airframes are aluminum
I honestly just can't wait to see a better 1/48 scale B24 than this one.
@@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379 maybe HK will come out with one they did the B-17
