B-25J Ave Maria 1/32

Recommended Posts

Hi, I would like to present my new job: it is a B-25J Mitchell, 447th squadron, 321st group of bombs in Corsica in 1944.
The scale is my usual 1/32 and the model is the Hong Kong Models kit. The set used was the set of eeduard photo etched detail sets, torn guns of the machine guns, the pale correction (those of the kit have the wrong shapes) of the ams, the resin brassin set for Eduard's wheels and obviously the kitsworld decals Only the noseart decals and the name for the riders are used, all the rest is painted on the model by masking the cutter's plotter).
Colored with Tamiya and Alclad colors.
Here are the pictures.

That is absolutely great Ivan! I have one of these kits so your photos are inspirational!  Are those the kit guns or aftermarket? Also, how did you find the machine gun belts/ I can't get my head around how flat colour etch Eduard can look three dimensional?

Excellent. I really enjoyed looking at your work. I think this would have been much like the B-25's in the book and movie "Catch-22". Lots of bombing runs (as noted on the nose there)  as there was very little defense. Great footage in that movie of B-25's.

Indeed an absolute joy to take a look at not only your Mitchell, which is excellent, but also your other projects, just proof of your craftsmanship, thanks for showing them.

 

Jack.
