Thomas Lund Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Maybe it doesn't look exactly like mine, something was there. I dont beleive the mid gunners were standing on the fuselage shell, also for movement to/from the tail something had to be there. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thomas, there's definitely a floor in the back. I think Ray was commenting on the kit not having included one. Yours looks great. When I did mine, I glued on some fine grit sandpaper to replicate the nonslip surface.

Thomas Lund Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi guys A little done, some pics will follow. However I bought these https://www.super-hobby.dk/products/USAAF-Pilots-1941-1945.html#gallery_start And they are VERY nice - nice detail etc etc. However out of a reflex I started painting them Khaki, but is that the correct color?? Instructions says pale green, which I think sounds strange. For a Corsican B-25 if that makes any difference... Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) FINALLY finished with the cockpit (except for a matt coat and the control columns). Added seats from milliput, eduard photo etch for the general cockpit and 'corrected seats' as well as seat belts. I repainted the fuselage interior in a color i liked more, washed it and highlighted the frames. Now I need to add ammo boxes and belts and a little more before I can close it up.

nmayhew Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 not sure how I missed this build? loved all the PE madness, although I think most of the bits you added actually add value rather than being "PE for the sake of PE" (Eduard company motto!) the interior colour is interesting...I am not sure what the colour *should* have been - I don't know much about the Mitchell (I'll only get interested when I can build a Mitchell that served in RAF ie no tail turret, dorsal turret further back etc etc) - but the original colour you used looked very light, and the one here, well, looks awfully dark! have bookmarked this build thank you very much for sharing Nick BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi Nick With regards to the color - What I understod was Bronze green in the cockpit and interior green elsewhere. The 'elsewhere' picture is quite a bit darker than in real life... I can see that I accidentally put up the wrong second picture of the cockpit. Yes it was etch galore - actually a bit too much, but I couldn't turn back :-) jimbo, Out2gtcha, Kahunaminor and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Really nice Thomas. Your seats look fantastic. Mine kept falling apart every time I looked at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Ok... I'm a mechanical engineer and whenever the bosses realize we have a problem... we don't... we have a challenge I have a challenge He he, but I guess I knew that, but kept repressing the fact :-) Anyway, I've been sorting out a lot of stuff - working on the nose section, gear legs etc etc LSP_Kevin, jimbo, Out2gtcha and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Ok, I've decided I'm done with the interior now. I could have added more, but I've had enough. So finally it's closed up - wings are only clicked on, but the fit is great so I think I'll keep it that way, especially considering my display cabinet 'challenge'. Most of the other bits are done so a little assembly left, some cleanup and then it's painting time :-) Alain Gadbois, jimbo, kkarlsen and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
