Looks great, and an excellent finish.

Any story behind the scheme? Having the silver framing seems odd as well.

Not many topics but every one a scorcher Mr Steiner. :goodjob:

I remember being quite jealous of your P47 (IIRC) with its top notch NMF. Here you've done it again!

Lovely finish, and certainly a lesson to me in how to get a 1/72 scale build looking just a wee bit bigger than it actually is. :)

I've got the Bombshell Decals set for "Margaret Mary Rustin", "Stuff", "Briefing Time" & "Ruthie". There are good front end photos of all of them except "Stuff", none of them have gun-packs.....Which means exactly nothing in regard of "Ave Maria", but I thought it was worth mentioning. :nerd:

Still think yours is one of the nicest B-25s I've seen! :coolio:

Masterful build! The natural metal shading of various panels is just right for a realistic effect---
