lucgeenen666 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yo yo. First of all, everybody thanks for the kind words, rather encouraging. Spent most of my time today drilling holes and fitting wire through them, so no spectacular progress. Should stick to OOB builds, goes a lot faster. Oh well. So only a few shots.

lucgeenen666 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hello everybody. Here we are back with a small update. In the beginning of the week I was wondering what I was going to do with the interior, build it OOB, or pimp it a little. I decided to go as far as I could go, with the references and pictures at my disposal. I'm going to try to put in as much that I can, though I know that most of it will not be visible. At least I know it is in there. So I started with the interior structure. More soon. Cheers.

lucgeenen666 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well guys and dolls. Let me first of all say sorry for being away for a while, but I've been on holiday to Bulgaria, after that I've been to the Graspop Metal Meeting and last week-end I went to Germany with my band to play two gigs. So not much modelling for the last three weeks. But the past few days, I finally managed to finish the interior of the right fuselage. I tried to put in as much as I could and that was possible to reproduce. Maybe a bit crude here and there, but most will be hidden anyway. I took a few pictures without internal components and a few with everything put inside, I promise that it won't take as long as last time to make another post. Hope you like it.

lucgeenen666 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yoyo. Short post to say thank you for the kind words and to answer Harv's question. For the ammo feed belts I used flexible resin belts from a firm called "live resin" . They are actually in 1/35 scale and are meant to be used in armour modelling, but I don't think anyone will notice the difference in scale. I got them at a modelling convention at the stand from the guys of the Sockelshop/Germany.( 1 bag containing 4 lengths of 5 cm each costed 7.50 euro) They also have an online shop, but I guess other vendors have them as well. Or else from 'live resin' themselves. Anyway, now you know what I used. Till next time. Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucgeenen666 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Short update. Been working on the tunnel underneath the cockpit. On the back of the cockpit bulkhead. Some Eduard stuff in the cockpit. And then I started to add the ribs. Starting at the back I came upon the side gunner's window when I realized that it is placed a bit too far to the back. Checking my references, I came to the conclusion that the window should be a bit nearer to the little airvent positionned just in front of it. For those who have it, take a look at page 58 of Squadron Signal's B 25 Mitchell Walk Around by David Doyle, and you know what I mean. So, it was out with the windowframe. This sight made me feel a bit uneasy. Repositioned the frame. And filled the void with some plasticard and putty. Looks better already, but still a lot of sanding and rescribing to do. That's all for now folks. Luc Whitey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Lots of good bands at that Graspop Metal Meeting. Did you play at or just attend that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
