    I was in Dallas about 15 years ago and visited the Commemorative Air Force museum. I saw their B-24 come in to land and taxi to the hangar I was standing at, coolest sight ever. Nice build btw!

    Great video. One point to make though. The leading edges of the wings are rubber deicing boots, they would not be weathered with chipped paint. They would stay black or rubber in colour. These rubber deicing boots appeared on the B-17, B-24, B-29 and C-47 and C-54

      Many cammo B-17s in Europe also had these removed too. There's footage of an out of control B-17 in cammo, in a spin, and the bare metal L/E is reflecting.@@ultralowfat

      @@MillwalltheCat You can see deice boots on the B-17, B-24, B-29 and C-47 and C-54. I imagine the twin engine B types could have them or not depending on how they were ordered. These were rubber pneumatic boots.

    Real nice build on this American bomber. As an American myself the Liberator is my favorite bomber. “Hornby Hoddies Ltd” bought AirFix models in the early 2000’s and have been focused on making it a real competitor to the other high-end famous brands of model makers. This is why this B-24 model looks so good.

    Terrific job on the B-24, really like the camo scheme and the method used to create shadows and fading. Well done Revell for including so much detail. I built a Revell B-24 kit back in the early 1970s (as a young teen) and recall that the details of the interior were basically non-existent, except for some bits and pieces in the cockpit. BTW...I enjoyed the Mosquito build :)

I did build the Airfix B-24 many moons ago and it was a very basic kit then so it's great that, in the intervening years, there have been major improvements in the quality of the new kits. Bravo Airfix!!

    A 18:40 the 'metal reveal' chipping shouldn't be there. The black strips are pneumatic de-icing boots, which are cycled to make a 'creeping' surface to break off ice deposits and safeguard the aerodynamics. The aircraft wouldn't be signed off as fit to fly with the boots inoperative and puncture repair patches can sometimes be seen on boots at full scale. Hope this helps - otherwise an excellent model.

    The only problem I see with the execution of the kit, and it does detract, is the leading edge of the wings, tailplane, and rudders are deicing boots. There would not be the chipping of paint with these boots. If the boots were removed for combat, the base color was the color of the wing, in this case olive drab. Yes, that is picking of nits, but an important detail. Over all, I really liked this build

    Great tutorial, you showed some techniques I’m going to try on my current B17 build. The interior ribbing especially.
    I’ve been itching to get this one since I saw it online a week or so ago. It’ll probably be my next kit purchase. Haven’t seen one in stock yet in the states though, at least not wildly overpriced for a 1/72 kit anyway ($70 usd). The detail is such I wouldn’t mind paying up to $30 - 40 though.

    Really good model. Note for accurately depicting the leading edge, I believe that the b24 was equipped with pneumatic boots. Much like modern aircraft this is a rubber sleeve on the leading edge that can be inflated to dislodge any ice formation. These boots where made from rubber, so wouldn’t really have any chipping. (Feel free to correct me) hope that helps with any future builds

    FYI. The leading edge de-icing boots were black rubber, so never chipped to reveal bare metal.

    The B24 while parked had the ball turret retracted into the fuselage. Only once it has become airborne did it deploy into lowered position. It had to be this way because of the tricycle landing gear. Idk if you encountered any problems with affixing it due to the design aspect.

    Two of my uncles were in the 8th AF and flew B-17s.
    ... they mocked the B-24, saying "it was the crate that the B-17 comes in".

    Incredible build! Couldn’t help but notice that you put black chipping on the leading edges black. While some aircraft did have black leading edges (I’m not sure why) 90% had a black rubber edge that could expand to break up ice on the wing. Hope this helps for future builds!

    I might be mistaken but the leading edges of the wings and tail surfaces have a black rubber deicing boot . The boot allows any ice that forms on the wings to be kicked off when the boot inflates . Many modern aircraft still use this type of anti icing system . The Beechcraft King Air is an example .

    Excellent job on the build. Looks AMAZING! The only little characteristic that I don’t like, and it’s not anything to do with your work at all, is the landing gear in the extended position. It looks like the plane sits too high off the ground, too much room between the belly and the ground. In reality, I don’t believe the ball turret could be fully extended on the ground. Years ago, I had a 72 scale Liberator and it did the same thing. I always thought it looked inaccurate. The 48 scale Libs were more accurate in this case. Congrats on the build either way! Speaking of 48 scale Liberators, will you be building the new tool kit at all?? Keep up the great work!
    Cheers!!!
