B-25 Mitchell 1/32 with light & sound

[Notty]

Firstly I am aware thus is the equivalent of the Marie Celeste but I just could not find any 1/32 USAF seated bomber crews. Plenty on their feet but none sat down! 
 

This is the HK models giant B-25J Mitchell with the Magic Scale Modelling light & sound kit. Painted with mostly Alclad airframe aluminium. Extras Eduard brassin wheels, metal legs, quick boost rear guns. Built for the fun factor rather than going for a technically perfect build and finish but I’m happy with how it turned out. I have 2 videos, one in the sunlight showing off the sparkle and one in low light showing the internal and external lighting.

 

Thus is the 2nd of these motorised conversions I’ve done and it has to be said that discovering them has given my modelling a shot in the arm bringing them to life. I hope some of you enjoy it. Please turn your sound on when watching. Thank you for looking!

Brilliant, where did you get the motors/sound card from

Very impressed, great idea and execution

I've seen some truly amazing things in plastic model airplanes here at BM, but your model really and truly wowed me!

Fantastic! Love the proper startup sequence. Now you just need to add some little exhaust smoke puffs

Looks so cool, that model would be centre of attention at a show, good job!

Hi Colin, you can get them here:

The owner Richard is super helpful as well.

The sound and light show is impressive, but the overall finish on the model, especially over such a huge area, is absolutely top drawer. 

 

Brilliant build 👍

Fantastic finish and the light and sound really brings it all to life too.

 

Currently looking on their website to see what goodies I can purchase.

 

also, great to see a fellow Staffs builder on here too :)

It looks really nice and I like the effects, I only mis a pilot or engineer doing the startup🤫

Other than that a great build👍👍👍.

Thanks for all the kind comments. Re the above, wait till the wife finds out about the same scale B-17 I have designs on once MSM have released their motor light & sound conversion 😬😬😬

She's a beauty!

[Steve27752]

I will give it 10/10. However, where was/is the blue grey start up smoke?
