Even babies have a weathered look here Kevin ! Bl**dy north of England - we don't have a climate, only weather ... mostly wet !!
Look forward to seeing you get into that B-25 Kevin...!

Looking forward to seeing that built. Has anyone else noticed what a stunning painting that is on the box art?

Alas, I just don't have the room for models that large. My most recent acquisition however is the Eduard PE set for the 48th Revell B-25J...
I'm planning someday to model the aircraft "Briefing Time", one of the few fully-restored flying B-25s. And it's kept at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum which is only a half-hour drive from my location in Pennsylvania, so I will have an opportunity to visit it frequently for the sake of reference.

I have a few armor buddies on other forums that give that kit very high marks, Wayne. They were concerned at first that it was just a re-box of an older kit but it turns out to be a new tooling altogether. Looking forward to seeing your build of it.

This just came in the mail . I plan to use either the first or third one on a Tamiya P-51D I have on the shelf when I get done with the three I have going in the current Group Build. I've always liked the 2/3rd's camp fuselage of the 55th FG's 51's and remember drawing one in colored pencil when I was in high school.

They are most likely the exact same kit with some minor add ons or changes....the different colour is most likely to differentiate between versions or make them look different even though they aren't.
Also..More than likely Revell have a few different colour batches of the same plastic for different types of models in their range and simply use what is in stock at the time of manufacture when they schedule a production run.

Just today received two 1:72's - a Tamiya Fw 190 D9 and a Special Hobby A-35.

Hi
Added these two to the stash. My plans for the P-43 are to convert it the photo recon version and put in RAAF colours. Should be an interesting project.
Second is P-47N. There are a couple of accuracy issues with this one. The prop and engine to sort out, but I intend to get this in 318th FG colours when based in le Shima. Some great subjects and I have the newly released Zotz decals to go with it too. High Cover looks likely.....I just might have to do them all though!
Cheers

Very cool Pete! I've always wanted to do a RAAF P-43 but was only ever aware of the Pavla 1/72 kit. What scale is the CA one?

It's 1/48
A peek inside the box reveals injected parts, Resin Engine, spinner, undercarriage bay and some cockpit detail.
Small fret of PE for the instrument panel.
Looks good, although getting it together may be a trick with these CA kits.
