Toshi, I just cannot keep up with your builds. I have to wonder if you ever stop building in order to eat and sleep! You are on a very fast learning curve and you turned out another good one with your B-24. Here is a thought for you. Earlier in the thread there are some photos of a B-24 in the field. Compare them to your finished model and your model looks like it is setting on a show-room floor. It probably did not look that good when it came off of the production line. It is fine if a show-room finish is what you want; but if you wish to add a little realism to your models you may want to get a little weathering under your belt.

I just got to see the photos tonight, Toshi, and that's a great finish!  I like your weathering and the fading.  Well done!

It's been a year already? Time flies when we're having fun. Indeed modeling is the ultimate stress release (unless your building the SH Blackburn Roc....lol). Thanks for sharing your work with us. .

Hi, Toshi

Well, what's to be said, beyond what a remarkable job you made of the B-24. Everywhere I look I see attention to details and good craftsmanship.

You have made great advancements with skills and abilities. A modeler to improve this fast I have never seen, and you should be in the Guiness Record Book for speed building.

Thanks for all of the posts and photos, congratulations for your FSM anniversary.

Great job Toshi!!!  I like that you painted the underside grey. Your model is a nice conrast to my NMF version.  The weathering is really nice. Job well done and keep up the good work.

Nicely done, Toshi! I bet that looks good hanging next to your tank lol.

Your hand painting of those canopy frames is improving as well I see. Well done, my friend.  :)

You're not quite the ameture anymore. You are going places.  ;)

 

There are several Vietnam and Iraqi war veterans at the local VFW.  I'm donating both my tanks (Bulldog and the M1-A1 Abrams) for display at the VFW In honor of them and those that gave up their lives for us.  

Thank you very much for your support, read, and replies, it means so much to me.

Looking really nice Toshi, and good choice of markings as well. I always enjoy seing Norfolk based aircraft.

 

 

 

 

Thank you sir, I figured you'd enjoy this Norfolk based Liberator build.

I was out of town for a few days (Death Valley NP) and knew that you'd have progressed considerably when I returned and viewed what was going on at Finescale. I didn't think you'd have finished it though - good work as usual - and with the speed of Hermes!

Have to echo the sentiments of many here, Toshi.  Fine build and your skills are improving with every build.  Funny how that happens! :)  As Nathan alluded to, poopy clear parts issues but otherwise, well done.

Very Nice Toshi! It's been fun to see your painting and decalling skills get better with each build. Such a big project and you came through very nicely. Looks like the fit of the clear parts was pretty poor. One of this kits toughest spots to deal with.

She turned out great Toshi! You even put the tail fins on right side up! (The 1/72nd Minicraft kit I built years ago show the tail fins upside down and I didn't check references assuming the instructions were right - and put mine on upside down..)

She looks fantastic Toshi! Wonderful job on a classic kit. I wanted to mention in early April there'll be a IPMS show in Dayton next to Wright Patterson AFB. If you get a chance to make down to it let me know.

 

I'd love to go!  I just don't know yet if I can make it that far.  I'll have to see Mrs. Toshi's schedule As well.  Thank you for the visit!
