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! Hi Spyrosjzmichos, the seats are origin from kit, only sides plates are Eduard. I have also Eduard "Correct pilot seats" set, but I was a problem with construction of co-pilot seat. Not a problem with PE parts, only problem with my hands So I have to use seats from kit even if it's not right. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the future construction!

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... Hi mc65, I spent a lot of time with construction of beauty Tamiya P-51 and I was not sure that my painting of NMF will be good. On this big bird I will have more space for practising, I hope . About shoulders strap, there is a probably mistake, because according to what i found out B-25 used only lower straps during WWII. And I dont know what will happened If I try to remove it. Maybe it´s better leave them there. mc65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Duck Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi So i finally place top of the turret with guns on the pilon. It was little complicated with correct position of both barrels compare to fuselage and between each other, but finally looks good. On last pic are cones for ammunition belts which are placed on top of the both guns. themongoose, TAG, Madmax and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Great work, Tomas! The subtle highlighting you do in your paint work is both impressive and effective. Kev JayW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas Duck Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi All So, cones are fixed on top of the guns. Looks ok fo me. I also made some modifications on tail gunner firing controll, you can see on last pics. Now I working on better tail guns holder, it will be partly visible and this part is more than simple in kit. patricksparks, John1, HB252 and 23 others 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Wonderful work! Such a great talent to be able to isolate each sub-structure and make them into stand-alone models unto themselves. Jim Barry and JayW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
