Can't comment on the first one but Laden Maiden is not a wartime photo, it's in fact one of the Catch-22 birds. That photo's from 1969 or 1970.

Interesting. Didn't know that. I think I pulled the Laiden Maiden photo from Pinterest WW2 B-25. I like that site you sent the link to. The first photo has the green tint as well. I have tinted the canopy and will post a pick soon.
Thanks a bunch Glenn. I had to re-do the front galazings as I wasn't happy with the result. I will post some pictures of the canopy work when I get a chance.
She's coming together now. Wings and tail on and antiglare panels complete as well as the cockpit canopy which is just dry fitted. I also started weathering the wheels. Nose glazing almost complete but this will go on last. Next is the start of decaling.
Question for you B-25 Experten. See picture below. I have noticed that on most restorations the front overhead window has a green tint while at least the period a/c don't seem to have this feature. Is this green tint on the window a restoration thing?
Thanks Guys. I am thoroughly impressed with Eduard's new decals. Just look at this. I applied the decal without a gloss coat using Microset and Sol. Then waited 24 hours and used some masking tape which I applied and removed from the decal. After a few trys the carrier film bubbled up and I gently removed it with some tweezers. At first when I pulled the film away I thought oh no I wrecked the decal because the navy blue turned a greyish colour but that was just the film. The film came off very easily revealing what I consider the best decal I have every used. This national insignia looks painted on. WOW!
I think some that may not be happy with them are trying to remove the film too early. While the decal may look dry it's probably not. Trying to peel off the carrier while the decal hasn't firmly set will take the decal with the film. Leave them for a minimum of the recommended 12 hours and you should be fine. I decaled one night then came back the next day and removed the film no problems. Make sure you use a cotton bud to press the decals and place and roll it across the decal to get the air out. They will conform better this way. You have to do this because the carrier film is quite thick.
