North American B25H1 Mitchell "Clana Louise", Italeri 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hi,

It happend, that majority of not-posted yet models are American machines. Moreover - they are rather typical.

Today I would like to present model of North American B25H-1 Mitchell in markings of 498 Squadron 354 Group, 5th Army, New Guinea, 1944. Individual name of machine "Clana Louise" In time when I made it, the Italeri was the best kit of B25, no Hasegawa kit was issued yet. It was about 2000.

Free hand painting with brush of nose art and individual name.

Comments welcome

Regards

Jerzy -Wojtek

That's a beauty. 1/72nd scale, really? At that scale you've done a better than good job.

Top banana.

Thank you Gentelmen for very nice comments. The Pacific's and among them New Guinea's Mitchells have very nice and huge nose arts. I was also temptatad by a "Bat Squadron" - the 499th - painting schemes:

I have still second Mitchell in stash, waiting for its turn....

Thank you Ktrum7 for comment. You are right - the nose arts were always free hand painting, sometimes by people really gifted or tallented :)
