My birthday was last weekend, and my relatives with the chronic P38 gift walk in. I shuddered & smiled all at the same time, reached for the box and... thought wow - this one's heavier! It's a Revell B25J, the gun-nose bird. Not something I'd usually buy, but it is on my "I screwed one up really bad when I was a kid and really should build one right to appease the styrene gods" list.

So, has anyone built one recently? Any big issues? Clear parts, decals etc?? The interior actually has a fair amount of detail, kinda looking forward to this one after I clear up some other projects.

Ummmm......Vance. This does not look like a HO!!!!! That's what you're supposed to be working on. Do you want to endure the wrath of Manny?

All kidding aside (wasn't really), I wanna to one with the cool nose art. There's sooo many choices of aftermarket decals with nose art. One of these days.

Nice shots of the tail position. I'll have to start squirreling away pics of some of those areas that will be visible.
