Nice build of a beautiful model, congrats. With all that weathering this Mariner looks like the one that went down with Flight 19 in 1945. Thanks for sharing the video.
It was nice of Academy to give us many of these large subjects in 1/72, but the kits are often a challenge. You did a nice job and I was especially impressed by your touch with the oil weathering.
Looks great! I recently did the PBY Catalina. It also had some frustration, but overall a great looking kit in the end. Balancing the front was a pain.
I'm just finishing this model as well. I did like that the turrets could go in after painting. I needed to put a lot of weight in the nose and the dome for it to sit on the front wheel. Thank you for sharing. One small point. Maybe give up on the music. It's hard to focus on what you're trying to share.

lovely, a great aircraft, you have the patience of a saint, I am still agonizing with fit problems on a 72nd scale p47.

Excellent work

Lovely work bud, with the shape of those wings it really does look like a sea bird doesn't it.
