HKM 1/32 scale Mitchell. 'Hot Gen'

Hi all

This is my HKM 1/32 scale Mitchell.

I went all out with this one, if it was etch or resin , it got it.

Changed the decals to make it into a British aircraft.

I really enjoyed this build, would love to do another one, but it comes with a pretty big price tag.

I had to take the photos out in the garden as its so big , it won't fit on the kitchen table.

As always all comments most welcome.

Wow that looks really good! I have the J "8 gun nose" I want to build up from the 345th. Every time I see a B-25 I think "Catch 22".

A lot of time well spent on the build and paint...only thing missing is the lawn chairs and table with the crew drinking tea and the loyal squadron dog

wanting to get petted.

Wow,

Thanks guys.

The RAF had 13 strafer aircraft, not sure if this was a full squadron.

The decals were from Kits World, and there were several aircraft, all strafers.

 

The glass nosed version is a lovely looking aircraft

I am waiting to see if a Doolittle raider is coming out next,

May well be talked into parting with some hard earned cash for that baby.

 

Thanks all for the comments.

Malc,

  Very nicely done. Rock solid build & paint scheme. Your weathering really adds that final touch to an operational Mitchell. My only suggestion is to use a photo hosting service that allows you to post full size images rather then having to click on each image and wait for it to load.
