But fear not, a touch of water and alcohol washed away our sins… 

Starging afresh. 
Well now let this sit overnight and re-examine it tomorrow evening.  If I like it, we’ll seal it, then round the edges and give it a bit of depth.  
Earlier today, I mixed up some ANA 606 semi gloss sea blue for leading edges and such using Sea Blue XF-17, Flat Blue XF-8, Neutral Grey XF-53, and Gloss clear in the Tamiya range…

The result reminded me of that scene in one of the “Airplane!” Movies

I thought you were going to say the "sniffing glue" scene :lol:

Looks great Ernie. The open cockpit window is a very nice touch. 

Thanks Carl!

Now I just need to learn to attach, mask and fill canopy before painting.  Less seam work that way…

Ernie you are doing a bang up job on this one but then again you seem to have the PTO weathering down pretty well of late.:unworthy:

On a PTO kick lately, and I expect it’ll continue…. I love the twin engined mayhem distributors.  I’m thinking a J version with the 345th BG might be in the works.  
tons of amazing nose art for these.  Almost as good as the B-24s

I would love to see you do a 345th J. They had such a variety of nose art and more painted on their planes.

It’s on the list. The 45th pretty much not only invented, but perfected the tactic of low level B-25 operations, to devastating effect.
