Colin W Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Looks great, and an excellent finish. Any story behind the scheme? Having the silver framing seems odd as well. Colin W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Magnificent model, your NMF is incredible! Was hoping to model one of the Corsican Mitchells, probably "Ruthie".....Didn't think these birds had the fuselage gun-packs though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrritableRabbit Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Not many topics but every one a scorcher Mr Steiner. 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.

Peter Steiner Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) yes gunpacks are disputable, on kits-world decal guide they are shown, but I havent seen any photo with whole fuselage of these corsicians - so its a question Edited July 2, 2013 by Peter Steiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) 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. Still think yours is one of the nicest B-25s I've seen! Edited July 2, 2013 by Sgt.Squarehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burncpt Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 This is truly beautiful. Top work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Great work. I've always thought that the B25 was a handsome looking aeroplane and you've done it justice there. I think the preshading is perfectly weighted - looks just right to me. Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavDoc Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Masterful build! The natural metal shading of various panels is just right for a realistic effect--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrobeson Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Looks great. I'm building the same plane in 1/32. No, it did not have the gun packs, sorry. Still looks good. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
