Roman Schilhart Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my latest, the new Airfix B-25 C/D built in RAF colors with the addition Model Alliance Decals “2nd Tactical Air Force 1944-1945” (MA72204). I used Eduard pre-cut masks (CX507) and painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics (H52 Olive Drab/H53 Grey). D-Day stripes are airbrushed. I added a small 'A' letter (individual aircraft code) to the tail fin, according to original photos. Period photographs also show different size of roundels on the upper wing, not mentioned on the Model Alliance sheet. I replaced the left RAF roundel for a slightly bigger size, covering the overpainted US insignia. All photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. Best greetings from Vienna, thanks for your interest.

stevehnz Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Really nice Roman, that's how a RAF Mitchell should look, to my eye. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandoa Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 That's just great mate- I'm a huge fan of well worn and weathered aircraft- when I look at old pictures they always look suitably worn- well done mate 👍🏽😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Beautiful build of one of my favourite WW2 twins! Very Nice. NO offence But can I ask you to delete the 'th' from the RAF Squadron number please. RAF Squadrons were and are never designated as the Americans style with ' th' or 'nd' after the number. Just plain 226 Squadron is good. I'm sure many others here will agree.😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Roman, Just to echo the comments, a beautiful build. I did this very same aircraft in 48th scale some years ago but it wasn’t to this standard. And Paul is correct, it’s 226 Squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Alfonso Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi My Friend Roman!!! Congtratulations for this new masterpiece. As I have understood since have read reviews and watched the sprues that belong to this kit, building this one is like a nice trip as the parts seem like build a real one with wing spars and lots of detail packed in this box. But as usual, even though ther kit is a great sample of perfection, here you have made a great build too. Nice rendition to this great and significant bird you have done in RAF colors, and think you have researched well the subject by the level of detail you have added. I liked a lot the way you have treated the kit, with this special lights and shadows, liked a lot the weathering you have done here and the way the D Day bands look. Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
