Popular Post Koralik64 Posted October 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2020 This time a plane with propellers. The model, as usual, is made straight from the box. B-24 Hobby Boss in 1:32 scale, very weak model. And the idea of making plastic landing gear legs is an absolute mistake. It doesn't make sense to write any more because I have nothing good to write about this kit 82 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Nothing to be ashamed of from those photos - most impressive! Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Despite the problems you've had it's turned out brilliantly. Got to be a monster! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Whatever the problems with the kit, it certainly looks like a B-24 to me. Excellent job! Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanond Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Wow! That thing must be huge. I heard complaints about this kit before, but you have done a great job. Congratulations! Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 For a kit about which nothing good can be said, you've done an outstanding job. You mention the kit is weak. Would you elaborate on that, please? And how did you overcome the weak plastic landing gear? For those who still want to build the kit, your insights would be most helpful. Thank you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Really great B-24 despite of the problems you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sorry to hear that you didn`t like the kit,........ especially as I`m part way through starting my own B-24J,..... but you have made an excellent job of it. Love the paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Whatever shortcomings you may feel the kit possesses, you have certainly produced an awesome result in spite of them! The finishing and weathering looks tremendously realistic. I have Hasegawa's 1/72 B-24J in my stash, for which your build certainly inspires.

Do you know the approximate volume in litres? 🙂 Hobbyboss made a bold move issuing this monstrosity, one wishes they had assigned development duties to the competent engineers HB is known to employ rather than letting the "B" team squander the opportunity. The engine fronts especially aren't up to the present standard for 1/72, much less large scale. 😬 Regardless, you've certainly made an impressive result of that beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Pete Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It looks great. Must be enormous, though... Better buy some flowers for your wife now. (My wife would make me keep it in the garage!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My wife would make me keep it in the garage!) Fortunately, this problem has to be solved by the person who ordered this model. My problem is shipping and packing.🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 For all of the pushback this kit provided, you conquered it with determination to produce a masterpiece. This B-24 belongs in a museum. Congratulations!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Very nice job from a very mediocre kit. It's a shame they got so much wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNosers352nd Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Regardless, still a great looking build. Jumping into my first two Hobby Boss builds..............and they are rough kits. Nothing like Tamiya, Eduard or Hasegawa. Think the few AMT kits I've built were better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
