rob85 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi all, this is my go at the Airfix B-25 decked out as ‘desert warrior’ straight OOB. The kit is a beaut, I really enjoyed the build and any issues you see are pretty much all down to me! It’s also a tail sitter as I didn’t get enough weight in there. build thread is below. painted by brush using tamiya paints, the desert colour looks too dark in all the photos but is lighter in real life! Honest! i did have an issue with the glazing after using a vinyl mask from p mask, which was frustrating! thanks to everyone who helped during the build! hope you like her! And one just because it’s sunny! oh my only warnings with this kit are watch the undercarriage as it’s a little weak and the seem of the main body. cheers all! stay safe Rob 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Great to see this in the RFI eventually! As I said during the build, excellent paint job Especially considering that it's all by brush and with Tamiya paints! Ciao 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

593jones Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Very nice build. I built the RAF option, and, yes, mine's a tail sitter too! I agree it is a very nice kit to build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Looks great. I admire your courage brush painting Tamiya... I used vinyl masks once - never again. Peewit ones are good and not quite as insanely expensive as Eduard. I have the RAF Mitchell in the stash and am tempted to make a start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, tamiya have never been an issue for me, I’ve only used humbrol and tamiya, gave Mr Hobby a go and Mig but I didn’t get on with them. the only other paints I find good for brush painting are citidel for games workshop.
