1/72 B-25's Finished

Post by Fermis »

Hasegawa's 1/72 B-25, along with Airfix's new 25(as a "side show")

Image

The Hase kit (with all the goodies) will be "Sag Harbor Express" (bat nose).
Going OOB with the Airfix (aside from markings)...leaning towards "Worth Fighting For".

Pre-paint work...
Image

Scratched up the access doors (Arizona Tea can...it's been a while!), and aluminum tubing...

You got a lot of AM for this one, I hope it all goes together we'll. Them doors look great too.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Well done! Great to see the tea can make a return, too.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks, Dudes!

Having a bit of a hard time getting "into it"...but I am progressing.

The Airfix kit is enjoyable...probably because it's OOB, and I'm not putting a whole lot of care into it.

A lot of time went into the Hase kit, with all the PE.



(After looking at the pics, I realized I got a bit ahead of myself...things were cleaned up and looked a lot better before I closed everything up)

The IP is PE, but did need to be painted...

As they sit, now.

I have been working on the tail of the Hase kit...rudders and elevators are molded in "neutral" with the rest of the tail parts. Can't have that!!!

The Airfix kit has separate elevators, rudders, and flaps up/down option...EASY!!!

Beautifully intricate work as always, Fermis! Interesting to see the differences between the two kits. And I've been surprised to see how little bombs these bombers actually carry. I've always grew up thinking they had dozens and dozens of bombs.

Great work as always!

How do you rate the Airfix kit - worth picking one up?
