- Today on the workbench, this Mitchell B25 D-Day colors. The kit is an Academy 1/48 scale.
The fitting was not really good and the plan was a minimum clear. Very difficult to understand where some pieces were supposed to take place.
I had a big problem with the weight. At the end of the build, it wasn't enough. Academy didn't say anything about it in the plan. I had the to do some very delicate surgery to resolve the problem.
Good point for the masking and the decals wich are very easy to use.
If you have any questions, feel free as usual.
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Thanks for watching and please, suscribe and push that blue botton guys!!

Awesome build ! I really Wish WE could get a Kit this nice in 1/72 scale !!!
Thank you very much!
Built this exact kit with my grandfather when I was a kid. Still have it today,although after forty four years it doesn’t look as good as this build.
Thank you for the story! Thank you also for watching!
Unlikely, since the first release of this kit was in 1999 from Accurate Miniatures. Perhaps you are thinking of the old Revell kit that dates back to 1968?
@@memkiii Could be,but this is the exact same kit.
Terrific, great job, the detail about the tail sitting was very ilustrious, , thanks for showing.
Thank you very much!
Terrific job, SS. A very enjoyable video with lots of great ideas shown. Great save with the tail sitting....you wouldn't even know that you had to cut your way in to add more weight. You must be very happy with the final result 👍
Thank you! The lack of weight has been a bad surprise. The build was finished when I discovered that I'll have to cut the bird..😭
The Academy B-25C/D kit, like the Revell B-25 D kit is a rebox of the Accurate Miniatures kit of 20 od years back. That kit came with nose weights. Revell remind you to add weight, Academy didn't. Knowing the origin of the moldings helps.
But you did a great job on that lovely Mitchell.
Thanks for the explanation Brett!😉
That was absolutely an outstanding build and weathering finish on the B-25, and nice to see one on RAF markings, you also have yourself another subscriber, bext regards from Australia 👍👍👍
Thank you very much! I love too the D-day markings.
Magnifique 👍👍👍
Merci beaucoup!
J'adore regarder et m'instruire. Je débute dans la maquette, j'en ai fait énormément jeune et puis j'suis passé à autre chose, merci pour c'est vidéos qui donnent envie
Superb work! Subscribed.
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching!🙂
Anytime I build an Academy kit I try and go back and find the original Accurate Miniatures edition on Scalemates and download the instructions from there. Like having a second opinion on placement of parts, colors, etc. Also, as someone presently working on the Academy B-25D "Pacific Theater" and altering it to Doolittle Raider B, the Accurate Miniatures B instructions definitely address the nose weight issue. They actually had templates on the box that are intended to be rectangles of brass sheets cut to particular sizes to fill the spot you put the fishing weight. Nothing like this is on the box or included in the instructions for the Academy one as I recall.
Thank you for this very usefull comment. I wish I had such instruction in the kit to avoid a bad surprise.
👍👍👍
Thanks!
It's fantastic work, looks phenomenal! But couldn't you ditch the crappy music and actually talk and explain some of the things that you're doing? As a relatively new modeller (but 73 years old), I had so many questions while watching this video, and was pretty much left in the dark about how and why you were doing certain things. Fascinating to watch, especially how it turned out, but wish that I had learned more while watching..
Thank you for your comment Mike. I understand what you say. I will certainly talk during my video someday. 🙂
Very nice to watch this build as I have just bought the same kit. You've given me plenty of ideas and food for thought! What weight did you eventually end up putting in the nose, I haven't got any weights in my kit so will have to purchase before I build. Thanks again for an excellent build video.
Thank you for your comment! I think I had to put a total of 30g. But if you can, put more than less if you see what I mean! Good build yo you!!
Nige build of a great model, as it is RUclips you need to work better on your camera setup as most of the video is terribly out of focus.
Thank you! About the focus problem, I work on it.
Very nicely done ! did you spray a matt coat before you weathered it? I built the same kit but a different company and so many issues . ✌Canada✌
Thank you! Yes I sprayed a matt coat., GX114 from Mr Hobby to be precise.
I would of just used tiny sticky on tire
Thank you for watching!
👌🔥
Thank you very much!

@@studiosam4350 , thank you for showing us.
@@user-ni2zo5zo3c My pleasure!
At the end, how much weigth is necesary?
Thank you for watching and for your comment! The final weight is 30g.
Hello! Where did you get the masks to protect the windows? ?? 12:47
Thanks for watching! The masks are provided in the kit, wich is very helpull.
@@studiosam4350 thanks!!
Wondering did you seal the model with a matt/gloss clear coat before weathering or after?
Thanks for watching! I seal my models with a Mr Color Clear Gloss GX-I00 first. Then the final coat is a clear matt GX-114.🙂
Way to recover!
Thank you!
Great! what is the l black liquid for wheatering? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! The black liquid is a mix of oil colors. Burnt amber, black, and yellow ocre.
@@studiosam4350 fantástic! Very thanks!
You're welcome!
What do you use to glue the parts together?
I use Tamiya thin cement and Basic Cyano Glue.
Thank you for watching!
