Notty Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) 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! Edited May 11, 2020 by Notty 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I've seen some truly amazing things in plastic model airplanes here at BM, but your model really and truly wowed me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mere_immortal Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Fantastic! Love the proper startup sequence. Now you just need to add some little exhaust smoke puffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 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 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
