Collin Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I’m traditionally a 1/32-1/48 builder but grabbed this out of the stash and what a treat of a kit. Go grab one of these and build it, great experience. I would find a canopy mask set just to make it even more enjoyable. OOB build added except for the PropBlur added for the inflight look.

Martinnfb Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Welcome to the forum Collin and what a grand entry, looks splendid. Would that be the 1/72 Hasegawa's J model? Cheers Martin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 It’s their J kit but with a 8-gun nose in place of the glass bombardier station. Glad you liked it. Cheers Collin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Super work. Did you miss taking off a canopy mask or was the forward port quarter panel painted over? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen eye…but it’s accurate. Late war gunships typically left an armor plate there for added protection. They might have come from the factory based on some photos I’ve seen.

I guess every bit of armour you can get is a good thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 A Nice build up Collin! I built up the Airfix 1/72 in the last month it was a nice kit also I have the Eduard reboxing of Hase in the stash.The B-25 is possibly my favorite bomber even though my Father flew in the 92BG during WWII.
