Popular Post Covjets13 Posted November 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hi all, Heres my latest completion, the good old Monogram 1/48 B-24D. It sure wasn’t an easy build, lots of parts fitted where they touched, I even had to resort to wood working clamps to get the fuz to join. I removed all the raised detail, then rescribed and re-riveted the whole airframe. I turned the rear turret around and builds the lights inside. I also added the landing lights, swopped the wheels for resin ones and added brake lines. I used AK extreme metal and Gunze / Tamiya paints and all the zig zags and markings where custom masks made by my lovely wife. Thanks for looking cheers Si 79 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 A formation assembly B-24 is indeed a rare sight let alone in 1/48. It is absolutely stunning how you rescribed and re-revited the whole old Monogram kit. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithA Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Good grief - just the thought of painting that is terrifying, let alone the build underneath. Great job! It looks stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Love seeing the assembly ships done. Good trick on the tail turret. I've done spots and bands, but not tried the zig zags yet, though I have sold my last big Lib. That is a great job on a neglected area of modelling.

Lightningboy2000 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Wow! I am really impressed with that! Like someone above said! Looking at the amount of work that's gone into it even before you started the painting. I've still got that same kit which I started re-scribing & a going over with the riveter. I know how much work you've put into that kit. I've just built & riveted the wings & it's been put back in the box! Don't tell Frank! It will get built - one day!😆 As for the zigzag masking, you are a very lucky man! Perfect teamwork! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 First, I am so impressed you chose to do a formation ship with its highly complex paint scheme. You are a brave man. Then, you took it upon yourself to rescribe and revit it. This is not a small model. Add to this the aftermarket detail added; your efforts are great on this kit and it really looks the part. This is a beautiful rendition of a variety of the B-24 that isn't featured much. Thank you so much for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
