What a project Chris! I look forward to seeing your progress as you proceed with it. 🙂

Very sorry Hubert. I hope your son will make a full recovery.

Thank you Carl. I thought that would be a nice contrast/comparison. 🙂

I decided, just for grins, to post these shots of both my HK 1/32 B-25J strafer builds and a pic of the one I'm just getting started on. This one is 1/48 and should be much easier to handle. The 1/32 ones were just too big for my work area! So, I guess I have the B-25 strafer bug right now! LOL 🙂 Stay tuned.

A bit out of the usual! Should good! 🙂

I look forward to seeing the finished bird! 🙂

Thanks Carl. A little bit different for sure. That's one thing that decided me on building this particular bird. Thanks again. 🙂

Thank you Chris! All done now! Go here: https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20905-hk-132-b-25j-strafer-done/

I'm calling this one DONE! OOB except for belts on pilot and copilot seats plus the home-made seat cushions (putty). It's a nice kit but does have some fit problems although most of them were self inflicted! I've always liked those vertical tail markings and that's what got me to build this kit since they are included with the kit. Painted with Testor's OD and Colourcoats grey. I have to say I'm VERY glad to be done with this build due to the before mentioned self inflicted fit problems PLUS the damn thing is just too big for my work space! I kept bumping it into things! I hope you like it.

Thanks Carl.

Enjoy the Holidays and family Kevin. 🙂 I plan to have this thing finished in a day or two.

Wings attached and painting, other than weathering, complete.

Thanks Martin. Unfortunately it's not as snug as it looks. I turned the model over to attach the other wing and it came off. I had to re-do attaching it and now I think it will stay put (fingers crossed).

Painting, except for many touch ups, is complete. I'm working on attaching the wings and other odds and ins now. 🙂

Since this is such a large model I decided to paint in sections. Wing and fuselage undersides first. The OD uppers will be next then I'll see about joining the wings to the fuselage.
