Learstang Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I don't know of any, but if some were to materialize before I'm finished, it'd be tough not to use them! Cheers, Tim W. Yes, the Lend-Lease version with the black undersides is a pretty sharp scheme. I can just see it next to my Shturmovik (I see a lot of things, some of them even real!).

TimW Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 All-- Sorry for the delays. I'm in the process of trying to get Photobucket to open the hell up so I can post the last shots of the interior before I closed things up. The holidays, a nice case of the crud and assorted work commitments put me way behind, again. So stay tuned! Here's hoping all enjoyed the holidays and have a prosperous New Year. Santa was good to me... Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nigelr32 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Glad to hear from you Tim, What's up with photobucket? Mines working fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Glad to hear from you Tim, What's up with photobucket? Mines working fine? I try to get into mine and it just goes on "connecting" with no actual progress. Tried to upload a couple of pix earlier today and it hung up at around 94 percent. Still working on it.

TimW Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Finally got PB to work...these are two shots of the fuselage before I closed things up. I scratch-built the tunnel to the nose out of plastic card, along with the interior of the round hatch further aft. You can see some of the fishing weights I stuffed in the nose. I'll post more once I get the major sub assemblies together and start painting this beast! Edited December 28, 2012 by TimW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Tim Terrific progress on the Mitchell. Glad to see you're almost ready to close things up. Keep 'em coming Peter :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad64 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Lovely work Tim. What are you using for weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Lovely work Tim. What are you using for weight? Basically, they are a bunch of fishing weights I bought at Wal-Mart. The advantage is they are relatively small and you can also pound them with a hammer to shape them to fit hard-to-get places. These were just stacked inside the nose as there's a pretty good-sized space there anyway. Then I blocked it off with plastic card to form the crawl space. Regards, Tim W.

TimW Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Believe it or not...still making slow progress. About to attach the wings to the fuselage/tail assembly. Was on a bit of a hiatus waiting for a response for AdAstra; I really need to keep this moving now that AA has gone into radio silence since just before the New Year. I now plan (yes, after considering multiple options) to do a VV-S B-25, with the multi-camouflage upper surfaces over black undersides. I may have to get creative in doing my own national markings, unless some of the other feelers I've put out to various decal/mask producers don't bear any fruit. Stay tuned. Tim W.

Guest Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nice work Tim. A VV-S a/c will look very nice. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nice work, I am getting the last of the AM to start my model. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Cant wait to see what it looks like when you get some paint on it Tim! I've been following along and I wondered what happened to your build, I'm glad to see you're back at it! All the best to you and your build, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks, all. Here's the more basic scheme I'm considering if AdAstra or whomever doesn't respond. There are several of these on Wings Palette that appear to match the standard paint jobs applied by the US before sending them overseas.

Guest Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Tim, I like your thinking. If I were to ever do one of these beauties, it would be Russian. Also, excellent work so far............Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
