My two 1/32 HK strafers and upcoming 1/48 Accurate Miniatures strafer

[JohnB]

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.

Nice B-25s there John. The contrasting camo/NMF is great too.

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

Cockpit insert done. Again the seat pads are made from putty. The belts are from Quinta. Painted with Dull Dk. Green (my mix).

Making some good progress on the Accurate Miniatures B-25C. About ready to join the fuselage halves. 🙂

Thanks Kevin. 🙂

Definitely just rolling along with this build.

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!

Really sorry to hear this John.

, but I understand when building becomes a chore why continue?  Modeling is meant to be fun....

I have a few projects on hold right now....waiting for painting. Circumstances don't allow me to get to my bench for now. In the meantime,---Feeding Squirrels----real Squirrels.

I also have been collecting OOP and older Tamiya kits-----ones I missed the first time around. People might not understand or approve of   this, but I enjoy doing

this as well as building. Hope you may have a change of heart----or start another project. as I enjoy your builds.

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. 🙂
