Kit's 1/72 Revell (Hasegawa) B-25J #04360**FINISHED**

[Kitaholic]

yeh right lol, although my A-26 keeps winking at me and saying " Go on, you know you want to"

State of play at the mo, fuselage together, no filler just sanding. Major sub-assemblies just need a tidy then ready to join up. Engines next.

[Kitaholic]

Engines about ready to go in, painted gun metal with a Nuln Oil wash. Was going to add wiring etc but after looking at photos thought dream on. One thing though, the instructions would have you mount the front piece at an angle but it should be vertical. Trim off the locating lug and turn slightly.


Main aircraft together now, just sussing out nose weight. 8g? yeh right Instructions show the cheek guns mounted upside down but the part numbers are correct to have the guns fitted the right way up ( ejector ports down) , if that makes sense

I think you're going to prove your signature line wrong at this rate the Mitchell is looking brilliant.

Looking well
8g nose weight?

[Molly-new]

Coming together quite nicely, and yep, crank up the weight at the front.

Certainly looks like a well fitting kit, thanks for pointing out Revell's instruction error. They seem to crop up quite regularly. Looks a cracker.

[Kitaholic]

Sorry for no updates but been ill the past week, nothing serious but damn painful. Back at the bench now so update soon

[iggie]

Glad you are feeling better!

Look forward to seeing more progress soon

[fredk]

This doctor recommends some periods of quiet model making as an aid to your speedy recovery.
Good to hear you're feeling better.

[Kitaholic]

Main colours on , coat of future next then main decals to go on

[Martin R]

Wow! That looks rather splendid. The later B25s weren't exactly undergunned, were they?

regards,

Martin

[Kitaholic]

Cheers Martin, yeh would really not want to be on the receiving end of one of these. Twelve .50 cal (14 if you lock the upper turret forward)

[TomW]

Very nice NMF there Kit, I think I should have a go at a B-25 soon, maybe a 320(Dutch) squadron one.

Regards

Tom
