@@PlasticModelBuilder your building skills are pretty good, imho. I’m watching your whole series of the B-25 build and enjoying it! Lots of good tips for my build.
Just started to build this. It's my first real plane and I am about a week into the build. Cant wait to see how your turns out. It will probably be better than mine.
Currently trying to build the monogram/Revell version of this kit. 80 some year old eyes and somewhat shaken hands don’t help. Than said I’ve never worked on a model like this where the fit of parts is a real pain..
Yo, just about to get this model tomorrow, i was looking at the instructions and it says “A” and “B” version, I get its for 2 different colorways of the plane, but how do I know when and when not to do the instruction step, sometimes its confusing, can i get an explanation?
What you do I think, is find where it says Jaunty Jo version or the Other version which I don't remember the name. Pay attention to the nose class and slight variations. Also I recommend joining some facebook modeling forums. People there can also help
After putting the boxes on, attach the top bulkhead to the right and left bulkhead. Slide those through the fuselage. Then attach each bomb. I recommend letting each one dry for a long period of time before applying the next one. Then attack each one to the top of the bulkhead first, then the bottom.
Ahhh. Take the 90° and put the top on it. It has a slight angle upward. The top is also the floor above it. The fit the two sides on it. That part I did right. You may want too weight it down somehow because its a tail sitter.
The sprew marks on the body is absolutely horrible. Why can't they figure out another way of injection, where you can't see them on the finished parts...
As a ‘how to’ video this is pretty dreadful - you did a bare minimum of sanding on lots of those parts, leaving visible parting lines and sprue stubs. Washing the parts is rarely necessary as modern kits don’t use release compound and dipping in Future is a bit 1980’s - the current Pledge/Future isn’t the same as the original Future - there are better products available now. If you’re setting out to show people how to do stuff then you need to update your techniques and knowledge otherwise it’s the blind leading the blind..
Thanks for watching! The bare sanding is result of using putty after words, which is in the next video, so no need to do it all now when it will get done later. It never hurts to wash parts. Who knows what stuff they pick up along the way in the process of factory to home. If the idea of Future is to give the clear parts a shine, mission accomplished at an inexpensive price compared to other options. Modelers with far more experience than I still use it and swear by it. I would like to watch your videos though if you can provide a link?
@@PlasticModelBuilder lol. I’d like to watch his videos too so when he sends a link to you Ari, please forward them to me. I’m guessing his vids are instructional videos on how to be a doucher;)
@@PlasticModelBuilder build models for you not for anyone else. I had fallen into the pattern of striving for absolute perfection in both my fantasy miniatures and scale models. This resulted in me finishing a scale model every 4-5 months and fantasy miniatures in 3-4 months. This then resulted in burnout. I strive now for good looking models bc they are for me and me alone.
Well in Tims statement, he is only watching one part of an unfinished video. The end result and look is what is important. Every model maker gets to that result differently as you know. Even if Future has changed, it is an inexpensive product that delivers a nice result. If I were trying to win a contest, I might put more effort in, and months could be justified. Contests are more for taking a normal model and making something spectacular out of it. I use the rule of what the non modeller sees. It is simply a neat looking plane. They arent judging on how in spec the vehicle is since they don't know. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Perfect! This is the exact video I was looking for. Got it recommended 👌
I hope it helps you out! It's not hard to build.
Nice video. Very informative. I’ve started building the Monogram version. Your tutorials will be very useful!
I hope you like them and even though my skills are a bit subpar, you do find useful building tips! Thanks for watching!
@@PlasticModelBuilder your building skills are pretty good, imho. I’m watching your whole series of the B-25 build and enjoying it! Lots of good tips for my build.
It is fun to see you take on another classic kit. If I can get up early enough I will try to catch a premeire.
Just do you! Watch when you can.
I just finished one last night! It’s an awesome model!
It certainly is a good one.
This is the best modeling channel ever
You're too kind. Thank You.
Just started to build this. It's my first real plane and I am about a week into the build. Cant wait to see how your turns out. It will probably be better than mine.
Ehh. Its just a plane! I did weathering on mine. Hardest decision is when to put the front glass on to hide seams.

It is a fun model to build. There are fit issues, but if you take your time, it should look just fine when you're finished.
Great video! I'm currently building this exact model and was looking to find a little help/guidance with certain areas.
Thanks. Its a bit tedious, and I'm sure the videos will help out a bit.
@@PlasticModelBuilder They already have, so much so that I subscribed before the first one finished.
Thanks. I appreciate that. Enjoy the model.
@@PlasticModelBuilder It's going a lot smoother now, and my only request is that you keep the videos coming!
The cabinets are ammo boxes for the side guns.
Learned something new today! Thanks for watching.
Yo, just about to get this model tomorrow, i was looking at the instructions and it says “A” and “B” version, I get its for 2 different colorways of the plane, but how do I know when and when not to do the instruction step, sometimes its confusing, can i get an explanation?
It is fairly clear. Its Mainly the nose glass and weapons.
okay thanks, so when it shows “A” and “B” on the first page where the first step is, i should ignore that?
What you do I think, is find where it says Jaunty Jo version or the Other version which I don't remember the name. Pay attention to the nose class and slight variations. Also I recommend joining some facebook modeling forums. People there can also help
What is the green table topper you have? Awesome video btw! I’m in the process of building this myself! First model I’ve done in years.
It's just a cutting matte found in craft stores usually.
I'm stuck on the second step lol the instructions book it comes with isn't clear that or I'm dumb but I can't seem to figure it out
After putting the boxes on, attach the top bulkhead to the right and left bulkhead. Slide those through the fuselage. Then attach each bomb. I recommend letting each one dry for a long period of time before applying the next one. Then attack each one to the top of the bulkhead first, then the bottom.
@@PlasticModelBuilder thank you for replying! You showed it well in step 2 I just hadn't seen it yet when I commented great videos!
Oooo youre welcome. I didn't do it exactly correct in the video though i don't think.
@@PlasticModelBuilder lol I'm talking about the part below the cockpit that like 90 degree angled piece I couldn't figure out how it went in there
Ahhh. Take the 90° and put the top on it. It has a slight angle upward. The top is also the floor above it. The fit the two sides on it. That part I did right. You may want too weight it down somehow because its a tail sitter.
What glue did you use? Just regular old super glue?
Thin cement. Super glue doesn't have a lot of working time. It doesn't melt, but simply creates a bond.
@@PlasticModelBuilder thank you 😊
Anytime. That's what we are here for!
Nice!
Why thank you. I hope you learned a little something about the model.
The sprew marks on the body is absolutely horrible. Why can't they figure out another way of injection, where you can't see them on the finished parts...
It takes better engineering to do that
Such a crappy model, revelle should be ashamed
This novel was probably considered top notch when it came out. Its just old.

I think he just needs a cup of coffee in the morning to go with his modeling!
