1/48 B-25J Straffer COMPLETED

Recommended Posts

Revell/Monogram 1/48 ALMOST OOB. With all the .50 cals on the aircraft, had to replace those with aftermarket. Obviously the props are from Propblur.com...other than that, she is OOB.

 

I threw in a pilot and top turret gunner to keep him company.

 

Areas I still need to improve are in the final stages and for sure my canopy work. I mask with BMF, and it seems after all the gloss coats/weathering/matt coats I don't get a clean canopy frame when I finally peel the BMF off.

 

Was a fun build, but does require some sweat...for sure around the lower wing/engine gap. Careful cutting and grinding away of plastic in these area does make for less of a gap to fill.

 

Comments and questions welcome. Gotta go fix that crooked .50 cal in the nose....be right back.

 

Cheers

Collin

I know a lot of guys don't care for the prop blurrs, but I think they look cool, it certainly give the illusion of the props doing their thing, I like this a lot, I have some of the prop blurrs in my stash in the hopes of having a P-3 with one or two engines spooled up................. this looks really good, I especially like the pilots hands on the controls..... very nice job...
