1/48 B-25j Mitchell gun-nose strafer.

Post by fencer » Mon Aug 28, 2017 10:58 am

Back at last,Photobucket can go whistle,got to use laptop now though!
Extras I've used are True Details wheels and Karaya and Aber .50 cal barrels.Exhausts were hollowed out,undercarriage scissor links hollowed out,brake lines added with wire,brass tube used for pitot and antenna stalks.Kit decals used except for US insignia which seemed too big and too bright.Pastels used on panel lines which were left raised.

Thank you for your kind words;have been swayed by armour and other things, plus the hijacking of photobucket,but hope to post some aircraft again soon.
