Very cool. If I attempted that it'd look like a jigsaw puzzle! :D

 

Great job! :)

 

To get a feel for this, I would suggest that you start with the smaller/simpler old 1/64 Revell B-25 kit, and don't worry about painting it.

 

But like my P-51 "Butch Baby", it is all hand-brush-painted:

Great work Tom!!!

 

Thank you.

 

Actually the kit is a relatively straightforward, no-problem build, OOB.

 

The big deal was fashioning a weight for the nose by hammering a lead fishing weight into the right shape to fit into the bombardier's tunnel.

 

I really need to add some more photos...

On Sunday, I finished the model B-25 Italieri but I chose other painting.

Your model looks good.

 

Thank you...

 

Completely hand-bristle brush painted, with Testors MM unmixed, straight from the bottle.

 

It levels beautifully.

 

Nice job. Those Monogram kits were always the best.

 

Thanks, and they still are!

 

They still have this one on the local Hobby Lobby store shelf.

Do some finished photos, and either PM me or post a link here!
