Guest Peterpools Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Tim Nice start of the B-25 and the detailing on the turret . Looking forward to following the build. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Looking good, Tim - nice start! Of course I'm still hoping you'll do the Soviet version... Regards, Jason Hmm....Tempting! I remember the original Wingscale kit was supposed to have some VV-S markings. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hmm....Tempting! I remember the original Wingscale kit was supposed to have some VV-S markings. Tim W. Yes, it was. I'd be tempted to buy this monster if I could do it as a Lend-Lease B-25. It would look nice next to my HB single-seater Il-2. I'm doing a Hasegawa B-25J with the Soviet markings (yes, it's 1/72nd scale - I have a very finite amount of money and space). At any rate, Tim, it will be nice to see the progress on this bird.

There are a couple REALLY nice looking winter camo bird on that one - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Almost ready for some more pix. The ProfiModeller stuff finally arrived! Also--seat cushions. Does anybody know if the co-pilot's smaller seat also had seat cushions? Did both seats have a cushion to sit on as well as one for the back? I've seen some conflicting info on this--ideas welcome! Thanks, Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 The latest....sorry this has been taking longer than usual, but it's been that kind of month! Tail position: Front office. The cushions were made out of epoxy putty and the seatbelts are Eduard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nigelr32 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Nice build Tim, if possible, could you please post pics before and after paint, so we can all see which bits are OOB and which are AM. I just bought this kit at the Nats for a bargain price, less than £100!! I've ordered all the Profimodeller sets except the barrels and weight( for less than £60 including postage direct from profimodeller), and would like to know if I also need the Eduard sets? (I also have the HGW belts and seats) Keep us all informed on your progress please Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the Eduard sets, though, and I believe on their website they have photos of built-up sections with the PE. If it's already painted, next time I'll make a point of telling you what is/is not PE. Should be another batch coming shortly! Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Further progress on various interior bits. The ammo boxes and shelves aft are either Eduard or Profimodeller. The cockpit sidewall details are Eduard color PE, as are the tail gunner's panel. The bomb bays have had Eduard PE added, but I had already painted it beforehand (I usually prime the PE ahead of time, so you can't always see which is which). There are gizmos atop the bombs that are PE as well as some stuff on the bomb bay sides, bulkheads and top section. I'll take some more when the bomb bay is assembled. I painted the yellow stripes and the stenciling is actually the stuff that came from the kit for the propeller blades--it has the right "look" and it's not like anybody will be able to read it after assembly! Interestingly, the bombs look more OD though they were painted RAF Slate grey. Must be the lighting. Enjoy! Tim W.

Guest Nigelr32 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks for posting the update Tim. I notice you have used two different greens for the interior of the fuselage vs cockpit. Which colours are they please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
