S48 749 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Good evening, colleagues! This model was started a long time ago, but I postponed it several times due to different reasons. That was not enough information on the navigator's cabin, then exhausting work with undercarriage bay, then... аnother problem's, аnother rit's. And again, and again ... But then I felt ashamed of myself! Gathered with the forces, having thrown all other projects, and AT LAST!!! I FINISHED !!! My Boston !!! Some photos of the assembly process you can see here (if you are interested): http://www.greenmats.club/topic/3519-douglas-a-20b-boston-mpm-172/#comment-41634 All comments and criticisms welcome! Thank's for your attention, Sergiy (48). Edited June 1, 2017 by S48 52 Link to post Share on other sites

Josip 616 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 That is IMHO the best model of a Boston from MPM kit. The only thing that I'd change would be to paint the tail rudder and flaps in very faded drab. Could you please share with us the rivet plan? It really adds a lot to any bomber model, especially in 1:72. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Horatio Gruntfuttock 523 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Well worth the way and a reflection of your efforts - that canopy masking is brilliant!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Victory-is-in-the-Kitchen 1,604 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Very, very nice! Great riveting and impressive paint job. Can I ask as I have a problem with one of my models and you look like you can help - what did you use for the antenna wire please? JB 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JB I used this: https://www.hobby.dn.ua/hobby-plus-hob-wire-super-model-elastic-wire-p-57664.html You can also use elastic threads from women's stockings. I'm absolutely serious! These strands are fine to stretch and they are thin, for antennas they fit very well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tentacles 115 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Very nice indeed. I like the finish. I have the Revell issue of this in the stash. Looks like you used the Foxbot stencil decals? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
