Great build out - I have to digress a little on the interior bombay - seeing the kit belly up and the additional parts increased the view angle, was glad to see that catwalk in place. Applying the paint mask is like surgery but certainly helps out. Gun torrents' are quite mechanical so scaling down to 1/72 is difficult - the hash marks on the top of the nose turret "PERSPEX" served two purposes, to help judge the "12:00 high" perception and help the gunner mange his deflection. I definitely appreciate your notification on the Gaahleri sale, I snapped the Mobius 0.3m up, hopefully your fans took advantage as well. Looking forward to Monday - Cheers Bob

I'm impressed with the quality of this kit and its level of detail. Haven't watched one of your builds for a while but this one has come out really nicely!

@TheBez1965 Ай бұрын

Looks a wonderful kit , Airfix are knocking it out of the box lately

@BobbyG-bp9xr Ай бұрын

Totally agree. I don't understand why airfix get so much stick from modellers. I think there is a lot of kit manufacturer snobbery. I love how they have evolved over the last 5-10 years.

Stunning build Gary! 👏👏👌 Love watching your build Video's and to have 2 on the B-24 is fantastic. Reminds me of some of your older builds such as the Buccaneer and Lancaster. As always you save us from making mistakes or help to solve problems by finding solutions and elevates you from many other modellers on YT. Thankyou Gary, always a pleasure. Can't wait for the Wokka! 😁👍 Bobby

Excellent build and kit and your weight positioning means no crew ladder required, an excellent job sir. Thanks for the videos

@alanrogers8535 Ай бұрын

You have done a great job. Im not going to buy one because i dont want to pay for all that interior stuff that i personally dont want. Well done to the Airfix team tho.

@Flakmagnet1701 Ай бұрын

Really looking forward to building one of these, and I won;t have to worry about the issues with the nose turret, becuase I am waiting for Airfix to bring out the earlier glass-nose version before I build it. The nose turret spoilt the looks for me

@user-us1dt8iw1f Ай бұрын

Great build Airfix kits are getting better and better and the plastic just feels an d looks better what have Airfix done question for Airfix and you Gary

@garys_stuff Ай бұрын

They have changed the formulation a bit I think. You have the basic polystyrene for it but then they add plasticisers and flow moderators and all kinds of stuff to get it to perform how they want it.

@soppdrake Ай бұрын

Lovely result, Gary! I wondered why you had glued in the superchargers in pt1, before painting them and now I realize you were relying on a nifty masking set 😊

@paulcorrigan649 Ай бұрын

Stunning mate. What's your feeling on the clear molding of the aft turrets? I've noticed a few manufacturers going down that route

@ronaldbyrne3320 Ай бұрын

Got mine. Can’t wait to build it.

Leading edges and vertical tail de icer boots are black rubber, not silver

@garys_stuff 22 күн бұрын

I'm going by the instructions. Seems some crews removed the boots in theatre as they were easy to damage and caused more problems than they were worth.

@ktos337 Ай бұрын

Hello. Did You have any problems with applaying big yellow decals on tail?

@garys_stuff Ай бұрын

No, none at all. I made sure I had used gloss varnish first, then used Microset to get the decal sitting in the right place and some Microsol to get it to sit into the panel lines. I did have to just slice a tiny bit of the decal near the rudder hinges, but after I had used the solutions above so it wasn't an issue.

@julianmhall Ай бұрын

Lovely job Gary! Do you think that turret with the loose rear had expanded like the doors on the other turret?

@garys_stuff Ай бұрын

Don't know mate, just didn't seem to fit right. Went in the hole designed for it OK though.

@ktos337 23 күн бұрын

I have another question. What kind of OD Paint did You use?

@garys_stuff 23 күн бұрын

On this occasion it was a Tamiya flat paint, but looks a bit dark to me.

@sos_legio_primus9177 Ай бұрын

I do not understand why all model kits tell you to paint machine guns in gun metal. They should be blued (black) to be historically accurate. I have never seen a bare metal MG. Especially in WW2 aircraft and tanks. Using gun metal makes them look like cheap toy guns. Same as in Bolt action. They show gun metal, metal parts on rifles. Despite the fact that 99.99% of these weapons had blued ( black) metal finish to help prevent rusting.

Said in the comments of part 1 I would wait for a different version. After seeing the build video and then seeing Airfix was doing 20% off, and that I had Hobbypoints.... £14 later one is on the way to me. Wonderful build video. Thanks. Also ordered the mask set!

@garys_stuff Ай бұрын

£14 is a bargain and a half!!!
