Yep, take it easy on this one, plenty of time old boy. Especially as I haven't got the nose art decals done yet!!
 
Here are the pics I promised Jan! I don't know what model it is, and the pics aren't all the best, but hopefully they'll be of some use. This is at the Alberta Aviation Museum.

Nice shots Cory. That's a fairly rare bird, A B25D ( I think), Mitchell III. It's a bit like the 'C', but had the tail gunners position added, similar, but not quite the same as the later 'J'. It didn't have the waist gun positions of the 'J', being more or less the same in that area as the 'C'. Far as I know, the top turret was in the rear position too, like the C/RAF Mitchell III.
 
Actually tried to a bit today....

Oddly enough they want the bombsight in olive green, I thought that they'd be in black.... So, olive green or black?

Thank you awfully old boy! Much obliged and all that rot! One only have to find out different colours on the details now....
 
Well, the tyres were a sort of dirty greyish brownish blackish rubbery colour.....what bl**dy details do you mean old chap!!
Give me a clue...ammo boxes, quilted padding, oxygen bottles, seat cushions, seat frames....??
Tchh! These Swettish people, two pints of Guinness and a couple o' wee ones, and they get all confuddled!
 
Sprue painting, so thats the dirty secret to banging out 4 kits in 3 months! It actually would be beneficial if you have all kits opened and you sprue paint interior green and whatnot on all of them.. Good use of time Lucky! Rather splendid looking too.
 
Jolly good old boy, d*mn decent of you, very cricket don't you know!

Cheers Mag! That's how I do things nowadays...freshen up whenever it's needed.
