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...

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

Well done! Great to see the tea can make a return, too.

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?
