Thanks for the info. Fingers crossed mine will be okay. 🙂 -

Thanks Martin! I agree. That color scheme is perfect for the Corsair.🙂 -

Thank you. They were there for the pilot to judge his approach to a ground target. -

Thanks Martin! -
At least for now! I decided to rescue it from the SOD and start work on it again. At least until the cuss-factor gets too high! LOL The nose didn't fit very well so I inserted some small pieces of scrap plastic to partly fill in the bad spots. I'll trim the excess away and then putty in the rest of it. The canopy is just taped in place for the moment.

My two 1/32 HK strafers and upcoming 1/48 Accurate Miniatures strafer
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in Modelling Discussion
Thanks Paul. I'll find something to work on as I like to keep something going. The AM B-25C was just getting to be too big of a PITA. You are right, this hobby is supposed to be fun. 🙂 -

JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in Modelling Discussion
It has now rolled to a halt! Getting the fuselage halves mated turned out to be more of a chore than I feel like fooling with. This build has a very high cuss-factor and I'm tired of dealing with it. 😠To the SOD with it! -

Cockpit insert done. Again the seat pads are made from putty. The belts are from Quinta. Painted with Dull Dk. Green (my mix). -
It's always SOMETHING Ernie.

JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in Modelling Discussion
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.

HK 1/32 B-25J strafer done
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thanks Carl. A little bit different for sure. That's one thing that decided me on building this particular bird. Thanks again. 🙂 -

HK 1/32 B-25J strafer done
JohnB posted a topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
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.
