Thank you for this! My father was a radio gunner in the south pacific in the Marine air corps variant PBJ25 he was with VMB-443. I want to build a kit like this to honor his memory although I'm nowhere near your level this really inspired me especially with the lights & engine sounds! as always you achieved amazing studio-quality craftmanship on this!
Thanks for the kind words! I used Alclad Airframe Aluminium over a base of their gloss black. It does give a lovely finish - if you have the patience to keep unblocking the airbrush when using the very think & sticky black base!
The base kit off eBay (HK Models 1/32 B-25) and the electronics from here: www.magicscalemodeling.com/shop/B-25-Mitchel-1-32-Motors-Sound-&-Lights-set-Taxiway-p80581278 it’s all plug & play no way would I be able to come up with this!
@@ZeddysDad Thanks for your information. How long have you been building models? I been at it from the time I was around 10 I am 57 now. I have just started a Trumpeter F4u I am trying to figure out how to get the wings to fold At the moment maybe you can help me with this problem?
The engine sound is the same as all the other plane models. Add some unique character to each type. Plus it'll look better at start up if you could have the thick exhaust smoke on each engine.
The sound comes with the electronic kits so is what it is, but magic scale modelling record authentic soundtracks for each type. B25 & B17 will sound the same because they both have the same Wright Cyclone engines. The others I have are unique to the type & all sound different to my ears.
Not sure, but the propellers are turning the same direction. In order for the pilot to control the roll of the aircraft, the propellers would have to counter rotate or rotate in opposite directions. Other scale models of this venue have that correct. In order for the pilot to control the roll the right or left aileron would have to be continually applied. All props should be spinning in towards the cockpit.
Hi thanks for the comment. There's lots of videos of B-25's starting engines, and you'll see how they rotate on my model is correct. You're talking about contra-rotating props, which is considered a luxury on multi-engined aircraft but not all that common. The aircraft I did my multi-engine rating on had contra-rotating props (BE76 Duchess) and the main plus point is they don't suffer from having a "critical engine"; they're both as controllable as each other when asymetric.
Really pleased you’ve started to do build videos so I see how you achieve you level !

Thanks man! And good luck with your tribute build to your father, what a great idea.
@@ZeddysDad Thank you, brother!
Very nice Mitchell and wonderful engine sound 😎👍
Beautiful finish!
Awsome job.
Absolutely incredible! What method used to achieve the aluminum metal finish (paint, foil, etc)? Thx

Where did you buy this model? I do these details from scraps I salvaged from other electronics but without the engine sounds

@@mitchellmarcus4843 hi really sorry I'm not familiar with that kit. Guess I restarted modelling about 10y ago on & off
Great job. I'm almost not worthy. (lol). I have this kit in my stash, just hope to achieve this level of excellence.
Good luck! It builds really easily, no major probs
👍😀👍❤
Must be green engines... wheres the smoke?? Excellent job!!
Haha - thanks!

Wow... did not know that about the 17 & 25. Amazing what an extra pair of engines would change the sound!!
Are these just tabletop models or do you fly any of these
These are static models. Sorry I’m not the original poster but I know the answer to your question. All the best! Ian
