BloorwestSiR Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Looks grand! Yes, I can now definitely distinguish between the gear doors and panel lines. Something I think I missed on mine Thanks Brian! It just sort of looked odd to me at first when I assembled the nacelles which is why it caught my eye I guess.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Going through my AM stash, I found this box: I forgot that I had purchased this set from Hannants. It mostly deals with the interior sections of the plane that aren't the nose or cockpit. I think I'll be mixing and matching from these sets as well as the Eduard ones I have.

Guest Peterpools Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Carl Nice plan but if you're like me, I tend to make a lot of plans, as I just can't seem to stick with the latest plan. Thanks for the explanation on choosing HGW PE for the seats - sure makes a lot of sense and our progress: looking mighty good. Always a good move to work on a different assembly to get the juices flowing at peak speed when needed. Holy Cow, what a find and what a find Been guilty f that myself going through my PE storage draws and coming across items I have totally forgotten about.Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that why we have them? I'm glad I found the Profi set in the pile but if I hadn't, it wouldn't have been the end of the world since there's another B-25 in the stash they could've been used on.

Guest Maxim Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Carl, just remember that Betty's Dream did not have any waist guns fitted. They were not required due to very little enemy fighter activity. This is reference in the Warpath Across the Pacific book on the 345 Group.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 This is looking great, Carl. I'm busy finishing Glen's T-28C and working on my PBJ-1H in between sessions. I'll get going on it full time next week. The emergency gear extension system is proving a fun build from PE. Thanks Ernie! I can't wait to see you start on your gunship.

I didn't know that. One thing I did not even on the Zotz decal instructions is they can for the Bat to be in black. Is that correct? It's always looked dark blue to me.

Guest Maxim Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) The bat was Insignia blue, not black. Edited January 17, 2018 by Maxim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxim Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It's mentioned in the book that the 399th had blue cowlings and bat on the nose. Very early aircraft had a light blue bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 It's started, but just putzing with the cockpit stuff. Well except for the engines I'm mostly doing the same. Working on subassemblies here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
