That is a great job on the new carb intake. People have said the cowl opening
isn't big enough either . Has anybody done a way to sand it bigger diameter?
I really like the big B-25. I have an Air Apache Strafer to build.
Cheers...Ron
There’s an article on LSP how someone did this.

I'll be in, building a Ki-43 Oscar to go with the kit I'll be doing for the On the Nose GB.

I'm calling this build completed. Had a let down when I removed the canopy masking. I discovered a small crack in the rear half of the canopy above the left side of the back seat. I must of hit the canopy sometime during the build . I applied some Future over the crack to see if would absorb into the crack but no such luck. What a bummer since the canopy is so prominent on this aircraft.
After two failed GB builds, I'm pleased with the build; it has its faults, but what build doesn't. I'll be taking a break from LSP builds for awhile as I've discovered MFH multi-media kits. Never done a multi-media kit and I'm looking forward to something new.
ARGH, after looking at these photos, I see I forget to paint the navigation lights! So I guess it's not completed after all, back to the bench.....
Thanks for looking in on my build.

Great progress on your build and looking forward to you detailing out the cockpit.

Quick update
The build has decals applied along with a satin topcoat.
Now to get the landing gear and various antenna added to get this build completed.
Thanks for looking in.

Nice work on and painting of your build. Your build is tempting me to get my F-105F build of the SOD and complete it.

Congrats on the retirement! Gonna expect a lot more WIP model building from you now!

I've made progress with painting the build; although, it hasn't been without issues. As I painted the green, I put a fingerprint in the fresh paint not once, not twice, but three time! Frustrating! After letting the green cure for 24 hrs, I sanded the fingerprints out and re-applied the green, and after these touchups and a couple others cured overnight, I applied the gloss cost.
I'll let the gloss coat cure for a couple of days then start applying the decals to the build. This GB end date is coming up fast, but I should be able to get the build complete in the next few weeks.
Thanks for looking in.

The painting has begun. After laying down the first coat of primer, I discovered a few areas needing attention. Once those areas were addressed and re-primed, I started spraying the dark earth. I'll get it finished up this weekend then start on the dark green.
Thanks for looking in.

Love the look of the Rafale.
Agreed!

My wife and I decided today would be a hobby room day, and it was a nice snowy day to be relaxing in the room. My focus was to get the build ready for a coat of primer later this week. I was able to get the seats and canopy installed, and the canopy is masked.
Now the fun part begins! My last two GB builds crashed and burned when the painting began, but I figure the third time will be a success. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for looking in.

Great Job! I need to get one of these kits.

I finished up the seats, and I'm happy how they turned out. But....
...as I began looking at photos of the Spitfire schemed Hawk to start prepping for painting my build, I noticed the seats should have been black not grey.
Not sure why I locked on to the grey. I thought about repainting them, but it was a fleeting thought.....
I'll be getting these and the canopy installed over the holidays, so I start priming the build.
Happy Holidays all!

Dear Border,
Please release the nose-only kit as well after the full airframe. No way I have the space for the full plane, but would absolutely love to do the nose section by itself to display.

Yes, and I’d be up for a couple of them too!

Wish I had the space for one of these….
