No, I didn't. I just assume it was made in Germany, or was that part of Poland in germany at the time?

Yes, very nice indeed! I've seen the bat on the nose as blue as well. Which one is correct? I assume the black is.

Yes my city belonged to Germany at that time.

Excellent pic of cool B-25 Wayne.

[Wayne Little]

Glad you like 'em.

Next category starts tomorrow night...

 

[Trebor]

damn fine gunship as far as I'm concerned!

Hey Wayne, I know this is bad form, but what is your honest critique of the B-25. Not enough weathering for a ship with obvious in theater nose art? Poorly researched markings? Colors?

I found her to be beautiful and a chip above many. What am I missing in the judging here?

 

[Screaming Eagle]

nice!

 

[Wildcat]

Beautiful B-25!

It appears to be of reasonable construction, there are some obvious things such as the wing leading edge light glass..it looks "added on" at the end...
The Port wing decal...you see the small whitish marks at 11 and 1 oclock from the front of the decal, decal film/silvering should be invisible.

It is way too clean and I would have thought the overall paint colour is just a little too uniform...
the modeller has got most of the basics done in a reasonable fashion but I think he is possibly not yet stepped up to the next level...still in the learning curve!

 

[Matt308]

Thanks, Wayne. She's pretty nonetheless.

 

[Wayne Little]

Yes, Matt it's still a nice build!.

Ok next category Small Enhanced class, this was my other first Place winner, the Me262..
