Daz's Ruptured Duck - **COOKED!!**
Daz's Ruptured Duck - **COOKED!!**
So, my project for this GB will be an aircraft that was portrayed in the classic war film Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo -
My kit of choice will be this one - only in 1/72, not 1/48!
(I could only find the 1/48th kit on Google, for some reason!)

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
Oh good. I was just thinking that a 1/48 B-25 would be a bit big.
Nice choice.
Nice choice.

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
Good oh, more variety! Is the nose art included in the decals?
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
Sadly no, although Hannants do a set which includes several others from the mission as well.
They've been ordered!

Along with 'where the ......... did that/those go?!!'

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
Decals have arrived today, so hopefully I might get around to doing some work on the Mitchell next week.
Of course, I'll have to watch the DVD a few times!
(Interestingly, the decal sheet comes with an option for a plane called "The Whirling Dervish" - and I have a funny feeling that one appears in Pearl Harbor!!)

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
I think the Pearl Harbor plane is a later model - which I don't have!
Otherwise....!

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
Anyway, I've finally managed to get the Mitchell out of the box....
I never realised there was a stand with the kit, so I'm almost tempted to use it!

The stand looks interesting. Reminds me of the Italeri logo.

Re: Daz's Ruptured Duck
Nice one, Daren, this should be good. For whatever reason I've never built a B-25. In fact there are one or two famous types that I've never built (EE Lightning for one) and I really should make the effort before I kark it!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.
