Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
Are you going to bore out the gun ports on the nose glass?

Since I had the black primer loaded in the airbrush, I decided to paint the wings of the B-25. Still a few spots to clean up.

Wow, lookin' good! The care is off the charts. I am definitely in awe of the masks you set in place for the canopy areas, to be perfectly honest. You have each mask carefully aligned. That is true detail work!
Make more models!

Thanks! They're not that perfect though. It's tough getting that many masks on.speedgraflex wrote:Wow, lookin' good! The care is off the charts.

Bout ready for attachment of the wings and tails. Then time to prime.

Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
Great work there! I think I would've cut the gun barrels off to pre-empt the inevitable breakage of the guns due to my clutziness. Hopefully, they'll stay intact for you!

As someone afflicted with the perfectionist gene, I have to remind myself that perfection is a target that can never be hit. I look at all of your masking work as care and patience personified. And I am impressed! It is great to see the fuselage ready for wings now! You are on a roll.
Make more models!
