B-25J Mitchell "Ave Maria" 1/32

[Tomas Duck]

Hallo Everyone,

I would like introduce my new project B-25J. Basically it´s a HK models kit + Eduard, Profimodellers details set and my scratch. For me, this model is step to the correct reproduction of NMF surface, which I need for still opened P-51 The Enchantress. So I start with the cocpit.  Thanks for the comments

Looks great so far!

X2.  Great looking pit so far.

Second part which is partly finished is Bendix upper turret. By the internet source I made a missing parts on the upper part of the turret, it´s close to the origin I hope.

After installing of guns to the turret I would like also install the bullet transport cones and, if will be possible also ammunition belts....

Turret is looking great.  Please keep up with the updates - very interested to follow your work.

Excellent start, Thomas! Your painting style is terrific.

Fantastic start Thomas!

I have the same model in my stash and plan to work on it in the near future so will definitely be following your build closely!

 

The seats are from Eduard? They look lovely!

wow, the parts shown are incredibily realistic, congratulations! 

I don't understand why practicing on a big B25 and then making a P51 with the experience gained, but you are the boss!

if I may, the shoulder straps on the seat have an unnatural trend compared to the buckles: so pulling the small strips to tighten them, they would actually loosen, I guess...

super sweet painting and weathering, and also great pictures!

 

you'll see barely 10% of that cockpit and interior stuff though right? seems such a shame

 

looking forward to seeing what you can do with the bits we will see 

 

cheers

Thank you guys for all comments 

Today will be a small step only, gunner seat and my interpretation of leather. It's not something extra, but maybe it will be enough. Now I´m working on re-charging system of guns, after this I can assemble turret together.
