JohnB Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks MARU and Gaz. This one has really been a challenge but, hopefully, I'm over that hump now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have plenty of puttying and sanding to do (my least favorite part of modeling). I hope to have all that done and the primer applied by mid-week but we will see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen so many really stellar builds of this kit it'd be a shame to not see it done. Of course, mine still languishes in the stash with it's 10 lbs of AM goodies, so that shows you I'm personally all talk and little action. I'm looking forward to seeing the culmination of this. And please be forewarned. I have a feeling that if this hits the SOD again, Phil will call in an airstrike on your location right after Gazz sends in the Hussars. I'm also thrilled ! And like Ern, have the same in the stash......harv 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Puttying and sanding finished. Primer mostly applied. I'd say it's over the hump now (I hope!). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 That's a major milestone there John. How big is it compared to a B-25? Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Yes it is Carl, thanks. They are both about the same size judging from the Mk.1 eyeball. I have a '25 in one of my display cases and it was a tight fit. As for the P-61 I have no idea as to where I can put it as all of my cases are full. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Awesome build! I have one to build as the Wabash Cannonball IV. It was my Uncles ride back in the day. I need to find someone to make me decals though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
