Beautifull Beautifull You just Inspired Me to Resume On My Liberator Mione Is the J model The Interior Looks Superb Buddy I Be Posting My Build This week some time Need More modeling Supplies I Be following your build you and I Are the Only Ones that Are Actually doing Builds On This Behemoth. your doing Great Matt Model on buddy Frankie Day
Hey Frankie, thanks for the great comment! I’m glad your getting back into it.. I got so much on the go right now.. I am still interested in doing a live chat with ya.
Great to see you moving on with the B-24, the part you mention at 1:23 is the tail control shroud, basically a plywood box that covered and protects the elevator controls from damage or possible debris so nothing could get jammed in the controls, I think the lower section also acted as a support for the ammo track guide to the rear turret.
So far it’s a fun kit! I have a J on hold for me at Hobby Sense. I’m glad you are liking the build thus far. Thanks for the support. Glad others are getting into the “D”
I'm building it now, and like you, I skipped over step 2 in the instructions that deal with the nose gear, I ordered the brass upgrade parts from Aerocraft Models and they have not shipped yet. I hope the gear support parts have enough flex to install them later. I will wait for them to show up before I join the fuselage halfs.
The B24 had the Davis airfoil. This was an airfoil of low drag and with the planform of the wing it was efficient at higher altitudes than the airfoil used on the B17. There are profiles out there of the airfoil used on the B24 that could be and have been used by scale modellers to correct the incorrect profile. There was no dihedral or anhedral in the main wing. It was straight from tip to tip on all models.
I have seen those. I’m just not sure if I’m going to go that far? A few folks have broke their wings trying to fix their models. In this day and age shipping is so slow. I’m not sure if I wanna halt the build for a potential mistake? I’ll dig more into it though... The Davis wings on HB’s part was a major oversight!
That part in the tail section could be the support for the hydraulic pump for the rear turret. If you google it, the pump looks pretty easy to scratch build.
Inclusive Model Designs got ya , that seems like a good idea , I have been using Mr Hobby 27 interior green , I am not sure if there is a right or wrong color , I see a lot of variation
I really want to go the “stand” way but am still looking for the best option. Cutaway would be sweet, but I’m to far along for that. However, with this model being so big you can see in pretty easily.
It is a real treat to watch this come together. I wish I could tell you how genuinely enjoyable this is for me. (I lack the means to do so myself.) I cannot hear your name well enough that I could spell it. UA-cam's closed captioning does not help, naming you "christmas" (no capitalisation). Even sillier, at 5:02 in your video, you refer to the "B-24J", which on-screen reads "v-24 jade". I therefore need your help in this.
Just a pointed regarding the wing shape. It’s actually the chord shape (leading edge to trailing edge) that’s incorrect, not the Dihedral. Dihedral is the angle of the wing from the inboard end at the fuselage to the wing tip. Regardless, awesome effort, I’ve just picked one of these up for a commission so your videos are helping me learning something before I get stuck in.
Great comment. I am not as familiar with the B-24 as I am with the B-17. I am trying to build as I research. Some things will just have to be left as is... Like the wings.
Thank you.. This model is HUGE! So looking into windows is very easy. As the build goes you will see what I mean. Even the 1/32 B-25B that I am building you can see right in.
Inclusive Model Designs oh nice I can’t wait to see it together 🙂👍 I would like to do a 1/35 b17 at some point and sorry I didn’t get to the but where you put it together 😂😂 commented A bit too soon
Hello, been watching all your videos, very informative. Eagerly waiting for part 6. Love your attention to detail. Aerocraft Models make metal landing gear for the B-24.
Thank you for your support. I am working on the B-24. I have ordered some aftermarket parts. I want to show those off in the next video. If they don't come in, in time I will go ahead with a video.
Isn't it strange, these companies get their box art correct, but make the model wrong? The HKM Lancs in 1/48 and 1/32 show the intakes correct then give you wide mouth frog plastic intakes??
I think that the interior color should not be zinc chromate yellow, but us cockpit green. Zinc chromate yellow was used in landing gear wells and places that were not visible from the outside through the cockpit windows.
This is generally not wrong, but for cockpits was black added to the zinc chromate yellow and resulted in cockpit green. Zinc chromate yellow was too light for the crews. That's what is stated in this document under Cockpit Green Colors: www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2004/01/stuff_eng_interior_colours_us.htm The remaining inner surfaces were correctly in zinc chromate yellow. Your model is very nicely built, but the cockpit color is too light and to yellow. Here is the correct color of the cockpit: www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/cockpits/WWII_tour/WWII-2.html Sorry for my english. :)
I think that piece is a storage container for life saving equipment, like food etc. Maybe life rafts? Also I really like it! If you’re interested you can check out my channel where I have some 1/32 b24 vids... have a great day!
@@inclusivemodeldesigns16 I'm thinking about buying the kit,but I hesitate because of this problem.A stand would be a solution.I just find it unreasonable that Hobby Boss leaves the modeller alone with their design failure.Why didn't they use metal parts like for the P-61B(/A)?And I wonder why no aftermarket company offers something .SAC offers e.g.for the A-26 a metal nose gear bay,but why not for the B-24 kits??
@@detlevschmalzbauer2346 I look at it this way. HK Models charges double the price of their kits and offers nothing. Hobby Boss offers their kit for less. True their are a few things wrong with the B-24 kit, but their are just no other options out there... I personally like the B-24D kit. Now another thing to consider if you are building this with the ball turret, if you put it on it's wheels the ball turret will be in the stowed position. I am thinking of a stand. The props are to small. You may want to look at a seller on Ebay that is selling spare props from the HK B-17 kit.
As a modeler also i just dont see the point of pursuing su much detail in an area that will be un accessible to the viewing public! Unless you WANT to do that.
I totally agree. However I do it for many reasons. Someone may want to display the plane with compartments open? With me showing what can be done it may aid them in their build? (ie battle damage etc) I also have companies that send me items to try out in models, so it's a great chance for me to show them off. Lastly, I put a lot of research into my projects. Most of my clients are museums. It is nice to see what the inside of these planes look like. I try and re-create that to the best of my ability...
GREAT video, I give a crap about the wing either. I have the "J" model and want this one too. MY biggest gripe was the props being out of scale, (Too Small).

Thanks for the comment. Are they all wood? In some pictures it’s metal looking? I will dig further and see if I can provide a link.
Hi Both thumbs up 👍 Great video and green background is definitely better then blue! Keep up good work… and thank you for sharing with rest of us.
Thank you so much 👍
I haven't started mine yet, got a few aftermarket parts on order, but seeing yours I now cant wait!!! Love it!!
So far it’s a fun kit! I have a J on hold for me at Hobby Sense. I’m glad you are liking the build thus far. Thanks for the support. Glad others are getting into the “D”
Outstanding video and presentation.
Thank you So very much!
That is very impressive, a great way to get to grips with the details of the B24.
Thank you. Some things I might just let go? One can river count till the cows come home.
Have you done any more work? Super impressed...
Great update amazing work. Looking forward to more updates.
Thanks Woody. Man this model is hard to move around the desk!

great build. When can we expect more updates? Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I am working on it. I am trying to get some info and pics of some internals.
That part in the tail section could be the support for the hydraulic pump for the rear turret. If you google it, the pump looks pretty easy to scratch build.
I am really not sure?
What color do you use , it looks very accurate to me
I am using Mustard yellow then going over it with none other than actual Zinc Yellow/Green. The actual stuff.
Inclusive Model Designs got ya , that seems like a good idea , I have been using Mr Hobby 27 interior green , I am not sure if there is a right or wrong color , I see a lot of variation
@@spinum73 It all depends on what plant the B-24 came out of? Also what year etc. B-24D's are early or late production etc?
When you want to use a stand then a cutaway model with the crew inside (in action) wood be cool!
I really want to go the “stand” way but am still looking for the best option. Cutaway would be sweet, but I’m to far along for that. However, with this model being so big you can see in pretty easily.

From part one to this chapter, how many days do you think it took four hours it took to get to this stage?

Looking good as usual I’m just wondering How do you see the Interior once it’s together?
Thank you.. This model is HUGE! So looking into windows is very easy. As the build goes you will see what I mean. Even the 1/32 B-25B that I am building you can see right in.

It is the ammo bin for the rear turret guns
Sweet. Thank you for the info. I wish their was a better pic of it?

HKM has let me down very much in the past... Yet I buy their 1/48 LANC & B-17????
I think that the interior color should not be zinc chromate yellow, but us cockpit green. Zinc chromate yellow was used in landing gear wells and places that were not visible from the outside through the cockpit windows.

Also I really like it! If you’re interested you can check out my channel where I have some 1/32 b24 vids... have a great day!
I also have vids on fixing the airfoil
I will for sure check it out! Thank you for posting!
I will for sure check it out...
Still looking for a solution for the "Holy S'**t,where do I put the 300g?"problem ;-)?
I am glad I am waiting for some aftermarket parts. I am still wondering that same thing kinda? Wheels? Stand?

I made a video on how to get the weight into the model using lead sheet.
“Woah that looks horrible” lol
