TEMPESTMK5 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Good evening all Thank you for your comments ,so far this kit is easy to build .. Today I placed some weight in the nose and engine nacelles and I closed the 2 fuselage halves I also glued the wings and placed the engine nacelles and landing leg Patrice Edited April 30, 2018 by TEMPESTMK5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Good evening Today I placed the wings , rudder and stabilizer on the fuselage Patrice 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Good morning All I must confess that placing the wings took me some times but it must be my fault .. And I would like to advise all the future builders of this kit to place enough weight in the nose because after placing the wings I tried to but the kit on its legs she simply sat on her tail and I had to place more weight in the nose of course at that stage of my build there was not a lot of space left but I succeeded and now she is not a tail seater anymore ..

jean Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Bonsoir Patrice, the more I see builds of this fantastic Airfix kit, the more I feel the need to buy/steal/borrow one! Never built a B-25, so this looks the right place to start. Your detailing is simply superb. Well done! Re the OD, you said this is Humbrol 155? I never thought of using it for this color, but why not? And I thought you were a spray painter? Or am I mistaken and this is not a paint brush signature? Super travail!

JR Good Morning Bonjour Jean Thank you merci , the Airfix Mitchell is a very nice kit and I recommend it if you have never built a B25 .. I always brush paint my builds , I use Hu 155 for Olive Drab since I managed to get a Paint Conversion Table a few years ago .. I will have to paint another coat next time ..
