Some slight progress as this as turned into somewhat of a filler fest in a lot of areas of the build and still some little bits of filler here and there to do but plodding along slowly hoping at some point to get the primer on tonight after masking and fixing canopies and adding a few missing parts ................ Realistically it will probably be tomorrow thanks for looking and any comments cheers John [ATTACH]94452.IPB[/ATTACH]

That's a lovely old classic, you're doing a great job John.

The Mitchell looks great John - a very tidy build so far and will make into a stunning model I'm sure.

Cheers

Wow, that's looking very tidy and crisp John. You're lucky, my one is moulded in a silver colour.

Looking great John! I always wanted to do a B-25J as a tribute to Johnny Red

Well Joe sorry to be the one to break the news to you but after glueing the kit together there are numerous gaps and miss aligned joints to be filled and sanded plus flash and seam lines to be cleaned off/up but with patience a fair standard can be achieved mine is awaiting primer and I will carefully go over it again once this as been applied and will determine a painted finish or a bmf on the results more later thanks John

Johnny Red that's the name of the pilot in my b25 Patrick what a coincidence.here's my favourite comics of my childhood used to love them especially the commando books which are still on sale now [ATTACH]94487.IPB[/ATTACH]

The Flying Gun, nice. All the way to the UK and back and wiping out entire squadrons of German fighters along the way. Still got those Battle comics packed away from the 80s. You can still read the entire Johnny Red collection: http://www.falconsquadron.sevenpennynightmare.co.uk/

" A Knife for a Nazi" now there's an uncompromising message!

What would it be like today?

"Excuse me, Mr German Soldier Sir, perhaps we could sit down over a skinny latte & hobnobs to discuss why you're so awfully beastly to those Jewish chaps?" :P
