Malc ireson Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 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. screen capture software alain11, SimonCornes, Thunda and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 One good looking B-25. Very well done Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 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.

Malc ireson Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 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.

Jim Barry Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Beauty all around. The exhaust staining is so right. Love the RAF choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrodes Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 She's going through a big overhaul right now - the Lancaster is to be done next year. http://www.warplane.com/aircraft/collection/details.aspx?aircraftId=32 R Palimaka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
