Thomas Lund 1,824 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 So... this is the one I've decided to enter. Ï started this a few years ago but it ground to a halt pretty early. I counted 40 parts involved in what I've done, so out of the kits 514 (not even counting the extra's) then it's 8%... that should be ok I guess. I plan to do a Corsican B-25. I've always liked the combination of camo over the NMF finish and apart from that I've always had a thing for the covers of Squadrons In Action books. On the cover of my is 'Peggy Lou' of the 445BS, 321BG that completed an impressive 129 missions - and I've always wanted to do that one Note that the artwork is actually not correct, I'll show that later. For this I've collected for this build: The Kit - looks great in the box: A liiiitle bit of PE And a little resin What I've already done is the engine basic structures (2 x 9 parts), wings (2 x 2 parts), nacelles (2 x 2 parts) and tail section (14 parts) So that's it - off we go jan p, Iain, BradG and 11 others 14 Link to post Share on other sites
Dukie99 2,370 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Excellent choice, you will enjoy this kit, I built this kit for the Iran Rain GB and really enjoyed the experience. No fault with this kit, the fit is just superb. Cheers, David BloorwestSiR and Thomas Lund 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Phartycr0c 2,685 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I can only agree, the B25 kit really is superb, One thing I would say though is grab a set of 50 cal brownings from master barrel, you will be glad you did. Thomas Lund 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah - planning to do that. Would be a pity to put all the other stuff in and then let it down with sub-standard guns Link to post Share on other sites
